3 # * If you want to debug perl or want to send a
4 # stack trace for inclusion into an bug report, call
5 # Configure with the additional argument -Doptimize=-g2
6 # or uncomment this assignment to "optimize":
10 # If you want both to optimise and debug with the DEC cc
11 # you must have -g3, e.g. "-O4 -g3", and (re)run Configure.
13 # * gcc can always have both -g and optimisation on.
15 # * debugging optimised code, no matter what compiler
16 # one is using, can be surprising and confusing because of
17 # the optimisation tricks like code motion, code removal,
18 # loop unrolling, and inlining. The source code and the
19 # executable code simply do not agree any more while in
20 # mid-execution, the optimiser only cares about the results.
22 # * Configure will automatically add the often quoted
23 # -DDEBUGGING for you if the -g is specified.
25 # * There is even more optimisation available in the new
26 # (GEM) DEC cc: -O5 and -fast. "man cc" will tell more about them.
27 # The jury is still out whether either or neither help for Perl
28 # and how much. Based on very quick testing, -fast boosts
29 # raw data copy by about 5-15% (-fast brings in, among other
30 # things, inlined, ahem, fast memcpy()), while on the other
31 # hand searching things (index, m//, s///), seems to get slower.
32 # Your mileage will vary.
34 # * The -std is needed because the following compiled
35 # without the -std and linked with -lm
39 # int main(){short x=10,y=sqrt(x);printf("%d\n",y);}
41 # will in Digital UNIX 3.* and 4.0b print 0 -- and in Digital
42 # UNIX 4.0{,a} dump core: Floating point exception in the printf(),
43 # the y has become a signaling NaN.
45 # * Compilation warnings like:
47 # "Undefined the ANSI standard macro ..."
49 # can be ignored, at least while compiling the POSIX extension
50 # and especially if using the sfio (the latter is not a standard
51 # part of Perl, never mind if it says little to you).
54 # If using the DEC compiler we must find out the DEC compiler style:
55 # the style changed between Digital UNIX (aka DEC OSF/1) 3 and
56 # Digital UNIX 4. The old compiler was originally from Ultrix and
57 # the MIPS company, the new compiler is originally from the VAX world
58 # and it is called GEM. Many of the options we are going to use depend
59 # on the compiler style.
