Porting my application from PA-RISC to Itanium
1) Can loadmodules and libraries built on a PA-RISC machine run on an Itanium machine, if not what changes are needed?
2) If I have the source code forthe application, do I need to prepare an itanium-specific version of the object code (on the PA-RISC machine), or can I get the same object code to run on both platforms?
3) Would the simplest solution all-round be to get myself an itanium machine and do a platform specific build on each machine?
I have to have the ability to support my customers and their various transition plans (some immediate, some slow).
Thanks in advance for helpful answers.

Re: Porting my application from PA-RISC to Itanium
If I understand it correctly, Aries is a RISC emulator that runs on Itanium hardware... which doesn't help my specific situation.

> situation.
Why not?
1. PA-RISC object code can't run on an IA64
system (unless you use a PA-RISC emulator).
Different instruction sets, architecture, et
c.
2. Rather depends on the source code, don't
you think? With enough "#if" directives,
most C code can be built anywhere.
3. Most likely. Avoiding emulation tends to
improve performance, too.

Re: Porting my application from PA-RISC to Itanium
In other words, my suggestion is option 3.
