By request, I did a pseudo-release of the jeffjournal client and server today to a limited audience. We'll see if it works out for them.
Dog just installed the patches for the Solaris Forte6 compiler today, and I gave it a whirl. Initial impressions:
- It's slow.
- They still didn't fix the linker bug. Compiling minime (which uses STL heavily) still gets all the same STL linker errors. <sigh>
- They seem to have fixed much of the Memory Badness with using bcheck in C++, but I still get a fairly lengthy "blocks in use" report at the end of my run. <sigh> At least these are not potentiall fatal errors, though...
- Jeremy claims that they don't have
iterator_traits. I hope he's wrong... - Trippy message from running a multithreaded program through the new
bcheck:
RTC: Enabling Error Checking...
RTC: Patching executable code.
RTC: Done patching code.
