Re: New 64 bit Compiler from SGI
Amancio That great, now when does FreeBSD64 come out ;-) Mike Give us a bit longer. 8) How many 'bits' longer do you need? 32? :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: New 64 bit Compiler from SGI
From: "Amancio Hasty" [EMAIL PROTECTED] For those interested , SGI has released their 64 bit compiler for Intel's Itanium. http://oss.sgi.com/projects/Pro64/ That great, now when does FreeBSD64 come out ;-) Is FreeBSD 64-bit clean as referred to in the below question from the SGI FAQ ( http://oss.sgi.com/projects/Pro64/faq.html )? Q. I have a C program that runs correctly on Linux/IA-32. When I compile it and run it in the NUE environment, I do not get correct answers. Any ideas? A. Is your program 64-bit clean? The Linux/IA-32 programming model uses an ILP32 model. That means that sizeof(int)==sizeof(long)==sizeof(void *) == 32 bits. The Linux/IA-64 programming model used a LP64 model. That means that sizeof(int)==32 bits and sizeof(long)==sizeof(void *)==64 bits. If your program violates the LP64 model you will have problems. This is why the version of gcc in SPEC95 will not work (nor will it ever without modification).
