Before doing this, be sure to -restore the @code{CC}, @code{CFLAGS}, and @code{LIBS} definitions in -@file{make-cccp.com} and @file{make-cc1.com}. The second generation -compiler will be able to take advantage of many optimizations that must -be suppressed when building with other compilers. -@end enumerate - -Under previous versions of GNU CC, the generated code would occasionally -give strange results when linked with the sharable @file{VAXCRTL} library. -Now this should work. - -Even with this version, however, GNU CC itself should not be linked with -the sharable @file{VAXCRTL}. The version of @code{qsort} in -@file{VAXCRTL} has a bug (known to be present in VMS versions V4.6 -through V5.5) which causes the compiler to fail. - -The executables are generated by @file{make-cc1.com} and -@file{make-cccp.com} use the object library version of @file{VAXCRTL} in -order to make use of the @code{qsort} routine in @file{gcclib.olb}. If -you wish to link the compiler executables with the shareable image -version of @file{VAXCRTL}, you should edit the file @file{tm.h} (created -by @file{vmsconfig.com}) to define the macro @code{QSORT_WORKAROUND}. - -@code{QSORT_WORKAROUND} is always defined when GNU CC is compiled with -VAX C, to avoid a problem in case @file{gcclib.olb} is not yet -available. |
