I’ve just seen something in the ROOL forums implying that the SharedULib needs updating for the Raspberry Pi 3. Is this correct? I thought that programs needed recompiling, but the SharedULib module was OK.
There seems to be some confusion about what SharedULib is. There are 2 separate entities; the module, SharedUnixLibrary and the library libunixlib which exists as an ELF shared library and as a static archive. The problem with SWP on the RPi3 existed in the ELF shared library and in the static archive and has been fixed. There was no problem in the module. This means that programs linked to the static archive will have to be re-linked to the fixed version. Any programs that are dynamically linked to the ELF shared library should work correctly once libunixlib in !SharedLibs is replaced with a fixed version.
What is the current status of GCCSDK for the Raspberry Pi 3?
Providing you are using a recent version then GCC and any code generated by it should work on the Raspberry Pi 3.
Is it worth creating a new RISC OS version of !GCC so it can be used by Raspberry Pi 3 users? Or is there more to do?
The version packaged on riscos.info does not include the fixes, so could do with being updated.
