ZoltanAfter reading you entry and looking over the pointed thread, I am VERY
disappointed to learn that the JIT development is solely for Linux. I think
that that limitation is shortsighted and probably could be overcome with little
effort
That said, it is a prime example of IBM duplicity on that subject. On one
hand, they would love that we would develop for them for free (or small amount
of the bounty). OTH, they won't create any community friendly environment for
development.
BTW, yes you could install a mainframe on a laptop or a desktop. There is an
emulator named Hercules out there and I think it is pretty much up to date.
Also IBM does (or did) sell hardware add on for PC's. The problem is that IBM
categorically refuses to give inexpensive versions of its various OS'es to
developers. They charge an arm and a leg for that stuff and bind you to
whatever. Without the basic IBM z/OS or z/VM you cannot run Linux.

It looks like we have to determine which allocator is the closest to what I
need and put a hook, using the NATIVE_ZOS macro and allow me to develop the
appropriate header files. We did that in the non JIT PCRE2 (look at
pcre2grep.c for example). However, I will need some guidance on how to develop
it.

Hi all
I would like to reiterate: I do not use Linux and I do not use gcc. Rather I
am using IBM native C compiler, so anything that is gcc specific or Linux
specific is a show stopper.
Please review the attached snippets and provide some advice
