[openssl.org #220] bug in config (openssl-0.9.6g, Solaris2.6)
This ticket is now resolved. [levitte - Fri Oct 11 10:18:21 2002]: This ticket appears to be resolvable, but to be safe, I'll ask: is this still an issue? [guest - Fri Aug 16 11:04:41 2002]: Note that the solaris-sparcv9-cc and solaris-sparcv9-gcc configurations actually use just sparcv8plus code (32 bit); see Configure. I did not know that, since I looked at config only, but not at Configure. But still: is it assured that every sun4u machine has the sparcv8plus instruction set? If not, then the patch is still required as the isalist manpage says: Programs compiled for instruction sets that do not appear in the list will most likely experience perfomance degradation or not run at all on this machine. Only the solari64-sparcv9-... configuration really needs sparcv9. This is on a sun4u machine with 32-bit OS only: $ isalist sparcv8plus+vis sparcv8plus sparcv8 sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc solaris-sparcv9-cc or ...-gcc are the configurations that should be used on this machine. Do you have a sun4u machine on which the solaris-sparcv9-cc/gcc code actually fails? I compiled OpenSSL straightaway for sparv8 since I was scared by the isalist manpage (s. above). I agree. Please try the attached patch The patch should not be necessary (and should probably be reverted in the CVS). -- Richard Levitte __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[guest - Tue Aug 13 16:21:38 2002]: In the case 'sun4u*-*-solaris2 stating on line 567 of file config, OUT is set to 'solaris-sparcv9-$CC' even if ISA64 does not contain sparcv9. I do not think this is done deliberately. Please help us, what should the target be in that case? solaris-sparcv8-$CC? -- Richard Levitte [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Since isalist displays the available native instruction sets ordered in the sense of best performance, I guess the best choice for target would be the leftmost in the list displayed. Under no circumstances should the target be set to something which is not available on the respective platform. Agree? Or did I completely misunderstand something there? :-) giovari [levitte - Thu Aug 15 11:56:30 2002]: [guest - Tue Aug 13 16:21:38 2002]: In the case 'sun4u*-*-solaris2 stating on line 567 of file config, OUT is set to 'solaris-sparcv9-$CC' even if ISA64 does not contain sparcv9.
