# THE MALLOC STORY
######################################################################
# 1994:
# the simple program `for ($i=1;$i<38771;$i++){$t{$i}=123}' fails
# with Larry's malloc on NS 3.2 due to broken sbrk()
#
# setting usemymalloc='n' was the solution back then. Later came
# reports that perl would run unstable on 3.2:
#
# From about perl5.002beta1h perl became unstable on the
# NeXT. Intermittent coredumps were frequent on 3.2 OS. There were
# reports, that the developer version of 3.3 didn't have problems, so it
# seemed pretty obvious that we had to work around an malloc bug in 3.2.
# This hints file reflects a patch to perl5.002_01 that introduces a
# home made sbrk routine (remember, NeXT's sbrk _never_ worked). This
# sbrk makes it possible to run perl with its own malloc. Thanks to
# Ilya who showed me the way to his sbrk for OS/2!!
# andreas koenig, 1996-06-16
#
# So, this hintsfile is using perl's malloc. If you want to turn perl's
# malloc off, you need to change remove '-DUSE_PERL_SBRK' and 
# '-DHIDEMYMALLOC' from the ccflags above and set usemymalloc below
# to 'n'.

# setpgid() is in the posix library, but we don't use -posix, so
# we don't see it.  ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs  *does* use -posix, so

# See ext/POSIX/POSIX/hints/next.pl.

# On some NeXT machines, the timestamp put by ranlib is not correct, and
# this may cause useless recompiles.  Fix that by adding a sleep before
# running ranlib.  The '5' is an empirical number that's "long enough."

# There where reports that the compiler on HPPA machines
# fails with the -O flag on pp.c.
# Compiling pp.c with -O for HPPA machines results in a broken perl.
# This is true whether we're on an HPPA machine or cross-compiling
# for one.
