Dear Gatelings, Our ON sources are now made SS12u1 lint clean. I thank all those who fixed the bugs I raised on different components of ON.
SS12u1's lint is much stricter and more consistent than the SS12+patches lint which we have been using, so we will make the SS12u1 version the default in the ON developer environment files. If your /ws/onnv-tools/SUNWspro mount comes from slug-17.{eng,sfbay} then all you need to do to start using the SS12u1 lint is to add the following lines to the end of your environment file : i386_LINT=/ws/onnv-tools/SUNWspro/sunstudio12.1/bin/lint; export i386_LINT amd64_LINT=/ws/onnv-tools/SUNWspro/sunstudio12.1/bin/lint; export amd64_LINT sparc_LINT=/ws/onnv-tools/SUNWspro/sunstudio12.1/bin/lint; export sparc_LINT sparcv9_LINT=/ws/onnv-tools/SUNWspro/sunstudio12.1/bin/lint; export sparcv9_LINT If you maintain your own build machines, here are the SS12u1 tar balls which you need to copy over and extract into appropriate location : /net/jurassic-x4600.sfbay/tank/home/India/sp92102/i386/sunstudio12.1.tar.gz /net/jurassic-x4600.sfbay/tank/home/India/sp92102/sparc/sunstudio12.1.tar.gz Community folks can get the SS12u1 pkgs from : http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/thankyou.jsp and apply the following patches on top : http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/ss12u1_patches.jsp This is a step towards a more general migration of ON CBE to SS12u1 but the main part is coming later. JBeck has requested that we start using SS12u1 lint on the gate machines immediately, you are strongly advised to do likewise. Thank you, Surya for GKs
