# hints/dec_osf.sh

#       * If you want to debug perl or want to send a
#       stack trace for inclusion into an bug report, call
#       Configure with the additional argument  -Doptimize=-g2
#       or uncomment this assignment to "optimize":
#
#optimize=-g2
#
#       If you want both to optimise and debug with the DEC cc
#       you must have -g3, e.g. "-O4 -g3", and (re)run Configure.
#
#       * gcc can always have both -g and optimisation on.
#
#       * debugging optimised code, no matter what compiler
#       one is using, can be surprising and confusing because of
#       the optimisation tricks like code motion, code removal,
#       loop unrolling, and inlining. The source code and the
#       executable code simply do not agree any more while in
#       mid-execution, the optimiser only cares about the results.
#
#       * Configure will automatically add the often quoted
#       -DDEBUGGING for you if the -g is specified.
#
#       * There is even more optimisation available in the new
#       (GEM) DEC cc: -O5 and -fast. "man cc" will tell more about them.
#       The jury is still out whether either or neither help for Perl
#       and how much. Based on very quick testing, -fast boosts
#       raw data copy by about 5-15% (-fast brings in, among other
#       things, inlined, ahem, fast memcpy()), while on the other
#       hand searching things (index, m//, s///), seems to get slower.
#       Your mileage will vary.
#
#       * The -std is needed because the following compiled
#       without the -std and linked with -lm
#
#       #include <math.h>
#       #include <stdio.h>
#       int main(){short x=10,y=sqrt(x);printf("%d\n",y);}
#
#       will in Digital UNIX 3.* and 4.0b print 0 -- and in Digital
#       UNIX 4.0{,a} dump core: Floating point exception in the printf(),
#       the y has become a signaling NaN.
#
#       * Compilation warnings like:
#
#       "Undefined the ANSI standard macro ..."
#
#       can be ignored, at least while compiling the POSIX extension
#       and especially if using the sfio (the latter is not a standard
#       part of Perl, never mind if it says little to you).
#

# If using the DEC compiler we must find out the DEC compiler style:
# the style changed between Digital UNIX (aka DEC OSF/1) 3 and
# Digital UNIX 4. The old compiler was originally from Ultrix and
# the MIPS company, the new compiler is originally from the VAX world
# and it is called GEM. Many of the options we are going to use depend
# on the compiler style.

#       * Newer Digital UNIX compilers enforce signaling for NaN without

#
#       * Fixed the library search path to match cc, ld, and /sbin/loader.
#
#       * Default to building -Duseshrplib on newer systems.  -Uuseshrplib
#         still overrides.
#
#       * Fix -pthread additions for useshrplib.  ld has no -pthread option.
