# 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.

# History:
#
# perl5.005_51:
#
#	September-1998 Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>
#
#	* Added the -DNO_EFF_ONLY_OK flag ('use filetest;' support).
#
# perl5.004_57:
#
#	19-Dec-1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
#
#	* Newer Digital UNIX compilers enforce signaling for NaN without
#	  -ieee.  Added -fprm d at the same time since it's friendlier for
#	  embedding.
#
#	* 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.
#
#
# perl5.004_04:
#
#       19-Sep-1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
#
#	* libnet on Digital UNIX is for JAVA, not for sockets.
#
#
# perl5.003_28:
#
#       22-Feb-1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>
#
#	* Restructuring Spider's suggestions.
#
#	* Older Digital UNIXes cannot handle -Olimit ... for $lddlflags.
#	
#	* ld -s cannot be used in older Digital UNIXes when doing shared.
#
#
#       21-Feb-1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
#
#	* -hidden removed.
#	
#	* -DSTANDARD_C removed.
#
#	* -D_INTRINSICS added. (that -fast does not seem to buy much confirmed)
#
#	* odbm not in libc, only ndbm. Therefore dbm back to $libswanted.
#
#	* -msym for the newer runtime loaders.
#
#	* $optimize also in $lddflags.
#
#
# perl5.003_27:
#
#	18-Feb-1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>
#
#	* unset _DEC_cc_style and more commentary on -std.
#
#
# perl5.003_26:
#
#	15-Feb-1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>
#
#	* -std and -ansi.
#
#
# perl5.003_24:
#
#	30-Jan-1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>
#
#	* Fixing the note on -DDEBUGGING.
#
#	* Note on -O5 -fast.
#
#
# perl5.003_23:
#
#	26-Jan-1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>
#
#	* Notes on how to do both optimisation and debugging.
#
#
#	25-Jan-1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>
#
#	* Remove unneeded libraries from $libswanted: PW, bsd, c, dbm
#
#	* Restructure the $lddlflags build.
#
#	* $optimize based on which compiler we have.
#
#
# perl5.003_22:
#
#	23-Jan-1997 Achim Bohnet <ach@rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de>
#
#	* Added comments 'how to create a debugging version of perl'
#
#	* Fixed logic of this script to prevent stripping of shared
#         objects by the loader (see ld man page for -s) is debugging
#         is set via the -g switch.
#
#
#	21-Jan-1997 Achim Bohnet <ach@rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de>
#
#	* now 'dl' is always removed from libswanted. Not only if
#	  optimize is an empty string.
#	 
#
#	17-Jan-1997 Achim Bohnet <ach@rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de>
#
#	* Removed 'dl' from libswanted: When the FreePort binary
#	  translator for Sun binaries is installed Configure concludes
#	  that it should use libdl.x.yz.fpx.so :-(
#	  Because the dlopen, dlclose,... calls are in the
#	  C library it not necessary at all to check for the
#	  dl library.  Therefore dl is removed from libswanted.
#	
#
#	1-Jan-1997 Achim Bohnet <ach@rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de>
#	
#	* Set -Olimit to 3200 because perl_yylex.c got too big
#	  for the optimizer.
