Version 3.1
Release Notes
Concurrent Computer Corporation
1. Introduction
This document provides an overview of release 3.1 of the Ada
Programming Support Environment (HAPSE) on the PowerUXTM operating
system.
HAPSE is a tool set for the development of Ada programs on Concurrent
Computer computers and Motorola MVME1604 single board computers. The
validation procedure under version 1.11 of the Ada Compiler Validation
Capability (ACVC) suite has been completed for HAPSE 2.1 running on
PowerUX 2.1 (previously referred to as Power UNIX) on a Series 6000
system (Night HawkTM 6202); certificate #950606W1.11383. Derivation
requests for HAPSE 3.1 running on PowerUX 3.1 on all Series 6000,
Power MAXION, Power HawkTM 610, and Motorola MVME1604 computers have
been submitted to the Ada Validation Facility.
HAPSE contains an environment that makes it possible for more than one
version (installation) of HAPSE to be configured on your system at a
given time. Details of this multiple HAPSE capability are outlined in
Chapter 2 of the HAPSE Reference Manual.
In addition, HAPSE 3.1 includes HAPSE POSIXO 1003.5, a complete
implementation of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) standard IEEE-Std-1003.5-1992. POSIX 1003.5 is an abstract Ada
binding to items covered by POSIX 1003.1. This implementation is
fully compliant with the standard and allows users to create fully
compliant applications. It includes source code for the specification
of all POSIX 1003.5 packages as well as a fully compiled library
containing all the POSIX 1003.5 units, located under
hapse_location/bindings/posix_1003.5.

HAPSE 3.1 Release Notes
6. New Features and Changes in this Release
o The primary reason for this release is to support the Power
MAXION systems. The Power MAXION is a PowerPC based computer
similar in most respects to the Series 6000 models. The main
difference is a new interrupt controller which uses different IPL
levels to those used on the Series 6000 systems.
o This release supports the Power Hawk 610 and Motorola MVME1604
computers, as well as all Series 6000 and Power MAXION computers.
Generally, programs built on any of the above systems will run on
all of the above systems. However, the Power Hawk 610 and
Motorola MVME1604 systems lack some specialized real-time
features of the Series 6000; therefore, the following HAPSE
features are unavailable on those machines:
o IPL_SERVER passive tasks
o Packages eti_services and eti_control
o Pragma MEMORY_POOL specifying local memory pools
o Pragma TASK_CPU_BIAS specifying multiple cpus
Additionally, the following features operate slightly differently
on Power Hawk 610 and Motorola MVME1604 systems:
o The package interval_timer uses an alternative hardware timer
(the Concurrent interval_timer is only available on Series
6000 systems). The two timers have different resolutions
which are described in the source code for the interval_timer
package, found in hapse_location/harrislib/interval_timer.a.
Such differences are not expected to be noticeable to users of
that package.
o The packages user_level_interrupts and interrupt_entry require
an additional record component, ic_ipl, for description of an
interrupt source, which describes the Interrupt Priority Level
of the device generating the interrupt. The ic_ipl field is
ignored on Series 6000 systems.
7. Changes Between CX/UX HAPSE and PowerUX HAPSE Releases
This section describes changes between the latest releases of HAPSE
(6.2 and 7.1.1) available on the CX/UX operating system and the first
release of HAPSE (2.1) available on the PowerUX operating system.
These are included here since it is anticipated that customers may
move directly from HAPSE 6.2 or 7.1.1 on CX/UX to HAPSE 3.1 on PowerUX
- 4 -
Release Notes 3.1 HAPSE
(without first migrating to HAPSE 2.1 on PowerUX).
o The run-time system was enhanced in the HAPSE 2.1 release to make
use of PowerUX lightweight processes. It is significantly more
flexible in terms of configuration than in previous releases.
There is no longer the dichotomy between the Basic Ada Run-Time
and the ARMS run-time. The new run-time system (still called
ARMS) can accommodate either the fully multiplexed model (like
the Basic Ada Run-Time), the fully bound model (like the previous
ARMS run-time), and many combinations of the two models. See
Chapters 5 and 6 of the HAPSE Reference Manual for more
information.
o The HAPSE product now includes NightView Ada Support and requires
the NightView product, in place of the former HAPSE debugger,
a.db. NightView is a powerful multiprocess debugger that
provides much of the same functionality as a.db and improved
functionality in many areas. It should be noted, however, that
NightView does not currently provide all of the features
available in the a.db debugger. For example, NightView does not
yet include support for: subprogram calls involving some
composite types, task status and per-task eventpoints, overload
resolution, shared generic instantiations, and objects with
packed (bit) representations. See Appendix C of the HAPSE manual
for tips on debugging Ada using NightView.
o Since ARMS is no longer based on a heavy-weight process model,
but is instead based on lightweight processes, certain non-
standard programming practices that were made possible by the old
implementation will no longer achieve the expected result:
- The old model would allow each task to have a separate
signal handler per signal. This was because each task was a
separate heavy-weight process, and signals could be directed
to each task individually. This is no longer the case.
Therefore each application is now restricted to having only
one signal handler per signal.
- In the old model, the application had portions of its
address space that were private for each of its tasks. In
other words, each task had a portion of its address space
that was private to itself and could not be accessed by any
other tasks within the application. This is no longer true.
Although this change has no impact on ordinary Ada code, it
could affect C or FORTRAN code that expected to have private
data on a task basis.
o Because of the possibility of multiple threads of execution in an
Ada program, the handling of error results from system calls
- 5 -
HAPSE 3.1 Release Notes
(errno) has changed. Each thread of execution must have a
distinct errno available to it. As a result, the following rules
regarding errno should be obeyed:
- If any Ada program wishes to access errno, it must be done
via the interfaces in package posix_1003_1 (get_errno,
set_errno).
- It is recommended that the preprocessor macro _REENTRANT be
defined for all C compilations, and that all C source files
#include <errno.h>.
- Declaration of errno as an extern variable by users is
strongly discouraged. References to such an instance of
errno will be incorrect when linked with an Ada tasking
program.
- To determine if a C object is referencing errno as an extern
variable, the following command can be executed to display
all explicit references to errno:
dump -tv object_file | grep "UNDEF.*errno$"
o The pragma DEBUG has been expanded to allow a single-parameter
form which must describe a debug level. In this form, it must be
nested within a unit.
o The pragma DATA_RECORD is considered obsolete; its functionality
has been subsumed by pragma DEBUG. In this release, activation
of pragma DATA_RECORD will automatically activate pragma DEBUG;
in future releases, pragma DATA_RECORD will have no effect.
o The pragma UNIVERSE is considered obsolete and no longer has any
effect.
o The supplied HAPSE libraries, arms and posix_1003.1, no longer
contain any source files or compiled units. They are being
included in this release for backward compatibility, so that
a.path commands that reference them will not fail. These
libraries will be removed in some future release, so any a.path
commands referencing them should be removed from scripts and
Makefiles.
o The MEMORY_POOL pragma has been broken up into a set of pragmas,
each with a much smaller scope. The MEMORY_POOL pragma itself
still exists but now also has a much smaller scope. All the old
forms are considered obsolete, but are supported in this release
only for backward compatibility. They will be removed in a
future release.
- 6 -
Release Notes 3.1 HAPSE
o The PASSIVE_TASK pragma is considered obsolete in this release.
It is still recognized in this release only for backward
compatibility. It will be removed in a future release. Its
functionality has been subsumed by the TASK_WEIGHT pragma.
o The handling of priorities (both SYSTEM.PRIORITY and scheduling
priorities) is different in PowerUX-based HAPSE releases than in
CX/UX-based HAPSE releases, primarily because of the possibility
of "gaps" in the available priority range allowed by the
operating system. See "Priority Interpretation" in Chapter 5 of
the HAPSE Reference Manual.
o The config package in the harrislib library is no longer
recognized by the run-time executive. It is still shipped in
this release for backward compatibility, but changes to it have
no effect on the run-time execution of a program. Instead, the
functionality has been moved into a set of new pragmas described
in Chapter 6 of the HAPSE Reference Manual.
o The ARMS_configuration package in the harrislib library (formerly
in the arms library) is no longer recognized by the run-time
executive. It is still shipped in this release for backward
compatibility, but changes to it have no effect on the run-time
execution of a program. Instead, the functionality has been
moved into a set of new pragmas described in Chapter 6 of the
HAPSE Reference Manual.
o The task_attributes package in the harrislib library is
considered obsolete in this release. It is still shipped and is
still functional in this release but only for purposes of
backward compatibility. It will be removed in a future release.
The functionality of this package has been subsumed by the new
package runtime_configuration, which also supplies many new
interfaces to dynamically alter the run-time configuration of a
program.
o The test_and_set_package in the harrislib library is considered
obsolete in this release. It is still shipped and is still
functional in this release but only for purposes of backward
compatibility. It will be removed in a future release. The
functionality of this package has been subsumed by the new
package indivisible_operations, which also supplies several new
indivisible primitives supported by the Series 6000 architecture,
such as fetch_and_store and fetch_and_add.
o The dr_interface package in the harrislib library is considered
obsolete in this release. It is still shipped and is still
functional in this release but only for purposes of backward
compatibility. It will be removed in a future release. The
- 7 -
HAPSE 3.1 Release Notes
functionality of this package has been subsumed by the
real_time_data_monitoring package.
o The is_arms_application function in the harrislib library
(formerly in the arms library) is considered obsolete in this
release. It is still shipped in this release but only for
purposes of backward compatibility. It will be removed in a
future release. The function always returns FALSE in this
release.
o The unix_prcs package in the standard library is considered
obsolete in this release. It is still shipped in this release
but only for purposes of backward compatibility. It will be
moved to the publiclib library in a future release and will
become unsupported.
o The HAPSE libraries bindings/posix_1003.1 and arms are now
considered obsolete, although this release still recognizes them
for backward compatibility purposes. They will be removed in a
future release. The contents of bindings/posix_1003.1 library
have moved to the standard library. The contents of the arms
library have moved to the harrislib library.
o The close_all, file_names, ioctl, ioctl_fmt, memory, strlen,
strncpy, text_supprt, tty, unix, and unix_status_buffer packages
were considered obsolete in the 7.1.1 release. They have been
removed entirely from this release.
o The compiler is now capable of generating a new type of compiler
error message, known as an alert. Alerts are used to indicate
features of the compiler that have become obsolete with the
current release.
o The format of trace events generated by the user_trace package
has changed. See Chapter 12 of the HAPSE Reference Manual for
more information.
o The options recognized by the following tools have changed for
PowerUX-based HAPSE releases. See Chapter 4 of the HAPSE
Reference Manual for details.
- ada
- a.analyze
- a.error
- a.ld
- 8 -
Release Notes 3.1 HAPSE
- a.make
- a.monitor
- a.report
- a.trace
o The HAPSE Pocket Reference briefly describes all utilities and
pragmas.
8. Known Deficiencies
o Entry calls from FAST_INTERRUPT_TASKS to multiplexed tasks are
not supported. Also, as a result, no PROXY tasks will exist.
o a.ld does not yet automatically set file privileges as documented
on page 2-6 of the HAPSE Reference Manual.
o Server groups with more than a single server are not yet
supported in this release. Attempts to set the number of servers
for a server group to a value greater than 1 will result in run-
time diagnostics, but will otherwise be ignored.
o The run-time system will support no more than 16 unique memory
configurations (combinations of memory_pool, lock_state, and
cache_mode) associated with task stacks per program. Attempts to
utilize more than 16 unique configurations will cause
unpredictable results.

HAPSE 4.1 Release Notes
6. New Features and Changes in this Release
o The primary reason for this release is to make HAPSE compatible
with the new version of the operating system and to correct
problems found in the previous release. The runtime system has
been enhanced to support up to 16 cpus.
o This release supports the Power Hawk 610 and Motorola MVME1604
computers, as well as all Series 6000 and Power MAXION computers.
Generally, programs built on any of the above systems will run on
all of the above systems. However, the Power Hawk 610 and
Motorola MVME1604 systems lack some specialized real-time
features of the Series 6000; therefore, the following HAPSE
features are unavailable on those machines:
o IPL_SERVER passive tasks
o Packages eti_services and eti_control
o Pragma MEMORY_POOL specifying local memory pools
o Pragma TASK_CPU_BIAS specifying multiple cpus
Additionally, the following features operate slightly differently
on Power Hawk 610 and Motorola MVME1604 systems:
o The package interval_timer uses an alternative hardware timer
(the Concurrent interval_timer is only available on Series
6000 systems). The two timers have different resolutions
which are described in the source code for the interval_timer
package, found in hapse_location/harrislib/interval_timer.a.
Such differences are not expected to be noticeable to users of
that package.
o The packages user_level_interrupts and interrupt_entry require
an additional record component, ic_ipl, for description of an
interrupt source, which describes the Interrupt Priority Level
of the device generating the interrupt. The ic_ipl field is
ignored on Series 6000 systems.
o The runtime has been enhanced to support up to 16 cpus.
o Several known bugs have been fixed in this release, including the
following SARs
- HM12059 - Incompatibilities between Ada and FORTRAN causing
link time errors when linking with FORTRAN that was compiled
with the "unsigned_int" option.
- 4 -
Release Notes 4.1 HAPSE
- HM12051 - case error in dwarf_expr.c when compiling with
debug info enabled
- HM11995 - A privileged user was unable to run tasking
programs. This was an operating system problem that has been
resolved on PowerMAX OS 4.1.
- HM11984 - This problem was the same as HM11995.
- A bug causing subtract operations to be transformed into
divide operations was fixed.
7. Known Deficiencies
o Entry calls from FAST_INTERRUPT_TASKS to multiplexed tasks are
not supported. Also, as a result, no PROXY tasks will exist.
o a.ld does not automatically set file privileges as documented on
page 2-6 of the HAPSE Reference Manual.
o Server groups with more than a single server are not supported in
this release. Attempts to set the number of servers for a server
group to a value greater than 1 will result in run-time
diagnostics, but will otherwise be ignored.
o The run-time system will support no more than 16 unique memory
configurations (combinations of memory_pool, lock_state, and

HAPSE Runtime Shared Libraries*
Version 3.1
Release Notes
Concurrent Computer Corporation
1. Introduction
The Ada Programming Support Environment (HAPSE) Runtime Shared
Libraries are a set of compiled and linked Ada packages for use with
Ada applications that explicitly utilize HAPSE-supplied shared

Concurrent C++ Compiler*
Version 1.1.1
Release Notes
Harris Computer Systems Corporation
1. Introduction
This document provides an overview of release 1.1.1 of Concurrent C++
Compiler, the Concurrent C++ Compiler for PowerPC(TM) based
PowerUX(TM) or PowerMAX OS(TM) systems. The Concurrent C++ Compiler
closely tracks the emerging ANSI C++ Standard. There are several
compiler switches that provide a degree of compatibility with previous
drafts of the ANSI C++ Standard and USL versions 2.1 and 3 C++
compilers (also known as "cfront") . The Concurrent C++ Compiler
utilizes Edison Design Group's C++ front end and Concurrent's
proprietary Common Code Generator (CCG) technology to produce highly
optimized object code tailored to the Night HawkO, the Power Hawk(TM),
and the PowerMAXION(TM). This product includes ports of the USL
iostream and complex libraries and HP's public domain Standard
Template Library.
2. Changes from Release 1.1
2.1 Increased Stability
Release 1.1.1 is more stable than release 1.1.

4. Prerequisites
Prerequisites for Concurrent C++ Compiler Version 1.1.1 are as
follows:
4.1 Software Prerequisites
o PowerUX (or PowerMAX OS) 3.1 or later. Portions of the cfront
and hc products are included with this product, removing
dependencies on other Concurrent compilers.
- 2 -
Release Notes 1.1.1 Concurrent C++ Compiler
4.2 Hardware Prerequisites
o Any Concurrent PowerMAXION or Power Hawk system.
5. Installation
Please refer to the PowerUX System Administration Volume 1 manual for
instructions on software installation. The package name for this
product is c++.
6. Cautions
o The C++ language is a developing language which has not yet been
standardized. Several language features may be enabled/disabled
through command-line options. See the Concurrent C++ Reference
Manual for more information on the available options.
o Users are encouraged to retain the source for their applications.
Major releases may provide new object-file formats which will
require the recompilation of programs.
7. Product Description
This is the second release of Concurrent C++ Compiler, replacing the
previously available cfront product. The compiler is invoked through
the name cc++ or c++. For more information on this compiler, refer to
the Concurrent C++ Reference Manual and the cc++(1) man page.
8. Changes from Previous Releases
8.1 Direct Compilation
The first release of the Concurrent C++ Compiler required that C++
code be translated into C code before machine code could be generated.
The 1.1.1 release includes the capability to compile C++ code directly
into machine code. Direct compilation supports source-level
debugging; however, optimization is not yet supported in this mode.
The C-generating version of the compiler is still available for those
who wish to compile with optimization. Debugging is still possible in
this mode, although all variable and routine names will be mangled.
- 3 -
Concurrent C++ Compiler 1.1.1 Release Notes
8.2 Default Compilation Mode
By default, cc++ will compile code directly from C++ into machine
code. When the optimization level is explicitly set (via the -O
option), C++ will be translated into C before machine code is
generated. The --mode=str option may be used to override these
defaults and explicitly choose a compilation mode. A str value of
direct designates direct compilation of C++ code, while cgen indicates
that translation to C should occur.
8.3 Intrinsic Support
In the C-generating mode, the compiler behaves exactly as described in
the Concurrent C++ Reference Manual, with the exception of intrinsics.
All intrinsics may be enabled by passing the -F option to cc++. A
#pragma intrinsic directive may be used to activate a single intrinsic
without using the -F option. No declaration of the intrinsic function
is required to use an intrinsic function. To call an actual function
which shares its name with an activated intrinsic, enclose the
function name in parentheses in the call. For example,
(abs)(-3.5);
will always return 3 (assuming the standard declaration of abs) while
abs(-3.5);
will return the floating point value 3.5 when the abs intrinsic
function is enabled. Calling the routine indirectly (i.e., through a
variable that points to it) will also reference the actual routine.
These rules apply to both compilation modes.
8.4 Pragmas
The pragmas listed in Table 2-1 of the Concurrent C++ Reference Manual
are not supported by cc++ when compiling in the direct mode. The
exception is #pragma once which may still be used to inform the
compiler that a header file will only be included once.
8.5 Compilation Phases
Some of the compilation phases listed in Chapter 7 of the Concurrent
C++ Reference Manual have been renamed. The C++ to C translator is
/usr/ccs/lib/c++fe and the prelinker is /usr/ccs/lib/c++prelink.
Compilation in direct mode does not use the C++ to C translator or the
C translator. Instead a new phase (/usr/ccs/lib/cxc++) is used to
translate C++ code into machine code.
- 4 -
Release Notes 1.1.1 Concurrent C++ Compiler
8.6 Resolving Calls to Static Constructors
Two methods of resolving static constructor calls are available, patch
(/usr/ccs/lib/c++patch) and munch (/usr/ccs/lib/c++munch). The patch
utility is used by default, although the --munch option may be used to
indicate that munch should be used instead.
8.7 Man Pages for I/O Library
The man pages listed as references to the I/O Library in Table 8-1 of
the Concurrent C++ Reference Manual have been relocated. The
following man pages are provided as reference for the I/O stream
library.
IOS.INTRO(3C)
filebuf(3C)
fstream(3C)
ios(3C)
istream(3C)
manip(3C)
ostream(3C)
sbuf.prot(3C)

Version 1.2
Release Notes
Harris Computer Systems Corporation
1. Introduction
This document provides an overview of release 1.2 of Concurrent C++
Compiler, the Concurrent C++ Compiler for PowerPC(TM) based
PowerUX(TM) or PowerMAX OS(TM) systems. The Concurrent C++ Compiler
closely tracks the emerging ANSI C++ Standard. There are several
compiler switches that provide a degree of compatibility with previous
drafts of the ANSI C++ Standard and USL versions 2.1 and 3 C++
compilers (also known as "cfront") . The Concurrent C++ Compiler
utilizes Edison Design Group's C++ front end and Concurrent's
proprietary Common Code Generator (CCG) technology to produce highly
optimized object code tailored to the Night HawkO, the Power Hawk(TM),
and the PowerMAXION(TM). This product includes ports of the USL
iostream and complex libraries and HP's public domain Standard
Template Library.

Release Notes 1.2 Concurrent C++ Compiler
6. Product Description
This Concurrent C++ Compiler, replaces the previously available cfront
product. The compiler is invoked through the name cc++ or c++. For
more information on this compiler, refer to the Concurrent C++
Reference Manual and the cc++(1) man page.
7. Changes from Previous Releases
7.1 Direct Compilation
The first release of the Concurrent C++ Compiler required that C++
code be translated into C code before machine code could be generated.
The 1.2 release compiles C++ code directly into machine code. Direct
compilation supports source-level debugging.
7.2 Intrinsic Support
In the C-generating mode, the compiler behaves exactly as described in
the Concurrent C++ Reference Manual, with the exception of intrinsics.
All intrinsics may be enabled by passing the -F option to cc++. A
#pragma intrinsic directive may be used to activate a single intrinsic
without using the -F option. No declaration of the intrinsic function
is required to use an intrinsic function. To call an actual function
which shares its name with an activated intrinsic, enclose the
function name in parentheses in the call. For example,
(abs)(-3.5);
will always return 3 (assuming the standard declaration of abs) while
abs(-3.5);
will return the floating point value 3.5 when the abs intrinsic
function is enabled. Calling the routine indirectly (i.e., through a
variable that points to it) will also reference the actual routine.
These rules apply to both compilation modes.
7.3 Resolving Calls to Static Constructors
Two methods of resolving static constructor calls are available, patch
(/usr/ccs/lib/c++patch) and munch (/usr/ccs/lib/c++munch). The patch
utility is used by default, although the --munch option may be used to
indicate that munch should be used instead.

Concurrent C++ Compiler 1.2 Release Notes
7.4 Man Pages for I/O Library
The man pages listed as references to the I/O Library in Table 8-1 of
the Concurrent C++ Reference Manual have been relocated. The
following man pages are provided as reference for the I/O stream
library.
IOS.INTRO(3C)
filebuf(3C)
fstream(3C)
ios(3C)
istream(3C)
manip(3C)
ostream(3C)
sbuf.prot(3C)
sbuf.pub(3C)
ssbuf(3C)
stdiobuf(3C)
strstream(3C)
7.5 Declaring non-converting constructors
The keyword 'explicit' is accepted. This feature can be enabled with
the command line option --explicit, and disabled with the command line
option --no_explicit
7.6 Variable Scope
The scope of a variable declared in a for-init statement is the scope
of the loop. This feature can be enabled with the command line
option --new_for_init and disabled with the command line option --
old_for_init
7.7 Member Templates
Member templates are supported in this release.
7.8 Specialization Syntax
The new specialization syntax (using "template <>") is implemented.
The previous style is enabled with the command line option --
old_specializations and disabled with the command line option
--no_old_specializations
- 4 -
Release Notes 1.2 Concurrent C++ Compiler
7.9 Const Volatile Qualifiers
Const Volatile qualifiers are retained on rvalues (in particular, on
function return values).
7.10 Trivial vs. non-Trivial Constructors
The distinction between trivial and nontrivial constructors has been
implemented.
7.11 Function Linkage
The linkage specification is treated as part of the function type
(affecting function overloading and implicit conversions). Implicit
conversions between "C" and "C++" linkage functions can be enabled
with the command line option --implicit_extern_c_type_conversion and
disabled with the command line option --
no_implicit_extern_c_type_conversion
7.12 Extern Inline Functions
Extern inline functions are supported, and the default linkage for
inline functions is external.
7.13 Typedef Name in Destructor
A typedef name may be used in an explicit destructor call.
7.14 Placement Delete
Placement delete is implemented.
- 5 -
Concurrent C++ Compiler 1.2 Release Notes
7.15 Array Allocation / Deallocation
An array allocated via a placement new can be deallocated via delete.
7.16 Enum Type handling
Enum types are considered to be non-integral types.
7.17 Specialization of Class Templates
Partial specialization of class templates is implemented.
7.18 Name Mangling
Typedef name is used as name for a tagless enum type for name
mangling.
7.19 Initialization of Local Static Variable
Initialization of a local static variable is restarted if an exception
is thrown during the initialization.

Release Notes 2.0 Concurrent C++ Compiler
6. Product Description
This Concurrent C++ Compiler, replaces the previously available cfront
product. The compiler is invoked through the name cc++ or c++. For
more information on this compiler, refer to the Concurrent C++
Reference Manual and the cc++(1) man page.
7. Changes from Previous Releases
7.1 Exception Handling
This release supports efficient exception handling. Object code
created with this release with exception handling turned on is not
compatible with object code from previous releases. Recompilation of
all the source is required. For this release the default value
command line option remains --no_exceptions, it will be changed to --
exceptions in a future release.
7.2 Automatic Template Instantiation
The automatic template instantiation mode has changed considerably.
There are now two files generated for this. Thus all source using
automatic template instantiation must be recompiled.
7.3 Tracking Emerging Standard
We have updated from version 2.34 to version 2.37 of the Edison Design
Group's C++ front end. This involves numerous changes to track the
emerging standard. Refer to the Concurrent C++ Reference Manual for
details.
7.4 ISO C Amendment-1 and long long
For PowerMAX OS 4.2 and later complete header file, library, and man
page support has been added for the ISO C Amendment-1 changes and to
support 64 bit integers with the long long type.
For PowerMAX OS 4.1 we have supplied header files and a static library
supporting these changes. In order to access the library use the
command line options: -Zlink=static /usr/ccs/lib/libIsoc.a.
Strictly standard conforming programs, command line option -Xc, cannot
use long long. Also note that for strictly standard conforming
- 3 -
Concurrent C++ Compiler 2.0 Release Notes
programs wctype_t is not defined in <wchar.h>
7.5 New C++ Standard Header Files
The following C++ headers for C library facilities are now supported:
_______________________________________________
| <cassert>| <cctype> | <cerrno> | <cfloat> |
| <ciso646>| <climits>| <clocale>| <cmath> |
| <csetjmp>| <csignal>| <cstdarg>| <cstddef>|
| <cstdio> | <cstdlib>| <cstring>| <ctime> |
| <cwchar> | <cwctype>| | |
|__________|___________|___________|___________|
The following C++ Standard headers are now fully supported:
_____________________________________________
| <exception>| <limits>| <new>| <typeinfo>|
| <utility> | | | |
|____________|__________|_______|____________|
For the header <functional> clause 20.3.8 is not yet supported.
If you compile with --no_exceptions, the default, then include the
header files , exception.h, new.h, typeinfo.h, and stdexcept.h,
instead of the above variants.
For PowerMAX OS 4.1: the order of include directory search is:
/usr/include/cplusplus
/usr/include/cplusplus/usr/include
/usr/include
For PowerMAX OS 4.2: the order of include directory search is:
/usr/include/cplusplus
/usr/include
In order to be compatible with old style C++ code and header files use
the command line option --using_std.
- 4 -
Release Notes 2.0 Concurrent C++ Compiler
8. Known Problems
8.1 New C++ Standard Header Files
Redeclaration of function signatures in the user program of functions
that appear in standard header files is not a good idea. Compile
errors will result when the same function is declared differently in
the header file and in the user program.
Note that when compiling with C++ <cmath> and <math.h> define the
standard overloaded signatures for pow. Care should be taken to
guarantee that both arguments are of the same type, or that the second
argument is an int.
In <math.h> and <cmath> the struct exception has been replaced with
struct __math_exception, in order to avoid name conflicts with the C++
standard class exception. If your application does not use C++
exceptions but does use the non-standard matherr then you can include
a -D__math_exception=exception to compile your application. However
it is recommended that you change the occurrences of exception in the
programs.
8.2 Type of String Literals
The compiler mistakenly types string literals as char [] rather than
char *. In some pointer contexts this may result in a compiler error.
A workaround to resolve this problem is to use the command line option
--late_tiebreaker.
8.3 makedepend Warnings
makedepend cannot properly handle the header file includes in the
/usr/include/cplusplus header files, such as cstring. It will emit
warning messages like:
makedepend: warning: name.c (reading /usr/include/cplusplus/cstring), line 6:
incomplete include == "#include _STD_INCLUDE(string.h)"
Use cc++ --dependencies name.c to generate make dependencies rather
than makedepend.
- 5 -
Concurrent C++ Compiler 2.0 Release Notes
8.4 Some Debugging Problems
Debug information is sometimes incorrectly written by the compiler for
static member constant arrays. NightView will sometimes not get the
information that arrays of this type are initialized. For example:
class SYD {
public:
int gets(void) {return 1;}
static const char * const option_specs[] ;
};
const char * const SYD::option_specs[]
= { "string1", "string2", NULL};
NightView will treat option_specs as a though it were a char *. In
order to look at the array in the example above:
(1) take the address of the array,
(2) cast it to "pointer to element type", and
(3) index that accordingly to examine the elements one at a time.
This would be ((char **)&option_specs)[<index>].
Debug information for a pass by value class is not always correctly
written by the compiler. Sometimes this information is missing an
indirection. Debugging information for reference members is also
missing an indirection. For example, in debugging ref.C:
1 | #include <stdio.h>
2 | int junk;
3 | struct A {
4 | public:
5 | int &ref;
6 * | A(): ref(junk) {ref=3;}
7 | };
8 |
9 * | A var;
10 |
11 | void main(void) {
12 | int j;
13 |
14 B=| j= var.ref;
15 * | printf("%x %x0, j, var.ref);
16 * | }
The following NightView dialogue might occur:
local:13866 Breakpoint 1 set at ref.C:14
cont
local:13866: at Breakpoint 1, 0x10003100 in main() at ref.C line 14
print var.ref
$1: var.ref = 805343472
print junk
$2: junk = 3
- 6 -
Release Notes 2.0 Concurrent C++ Compiler
"The value of var.ref should have been the same as the value of junk,
but instead it prints the address of the variable junk." An example
of the problem with a class passed by value is:
#include <stdio.h>
class Frobnitz {
public:
Frobnitz();
Frobnitz(void * init_p);
~Frobnitz();
operator void * ();
private:
void * p;
};
Frobnitz::Frobnitz() : p((void *)0) {
return;
}
Frobnitz::Frobnitz(void * init_p) : p(init_p) {
return;
}
Frobnitz::~Frobnitz() {
return;
}
Frobnitz::operator void *() {
return p;
}
int Silly(Frobnitz n) {
return (int)((void *)n);
}
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
Frobnitz alley;
Frobnitz oop((void *)47);
printf("alley = %d0, Silly(alley));
printf("opp = %d0, Silly(oop));
return 0;
}
At a breakpoint set on the return statement in Silly():
print n
$2: n = {
p = 0x2ff7ecd0
}
But looking at the program we would expect either 0 or 47.
Debugging information for optimized inlined routines is sometimes
missing scope information. This happens when the optimizer unrolls
loops, moves zero trip tests, etc. When in this optimized code,
NightView will sometimes think that variable names requested are out-
of-scope. If it is necessary to examine these variables at these
points in the program, then compile the module in question at -O1
optimization level, or with no loop unrolling.
