Itanium questions

[Clive Quinn]

Hi,
I am in the middle of a port from PA risc architecture to IPF architecture. We are using HPUX b11.23 U ia64 and compiler version HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.50.

Now I have built my application fine and I am using the the classic C++ runtime (i.e the -AP flag instead of itanium default of standard -AA flag). I have also used optimization level 2 i.e +O2 flag. We are also using the flag -D_PSTAT64 to allow us to use 64 bit compliant system call.

Please note I want my application to be built 32 bit even though I am on 64 bit machine and I am believe this should not be a problem. I am using shared libraries from /usr/lib/hpux32.

Now I am encountering problems during some of my test runs. Some tests are generating core files and when I try debug the core using gdb and wdb; I am unable to go into functions where the core is supposed to be generated(I have urned the -g flag on for debug). This makes me think we might be missing a debugger or compiler patch !

Also please note I also switched off the +O2 optimization and still got same problem.

Firstly I would be grateful if someone could send me on details of patches I need to install to ensure I have latest runtime and linker.
Also I noticed that I have no patches installed that start with the phrase PHSS (this is usually HP's patches label). Is this an issue ?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Clive
