# This file has been put together by Anno Siegel # and Andreas Koenig . Comments, questions, and # improvements welcome! # # These hints are intended for NeXT 3.2. # From about perl5.002beta1h perl became unstable on the # NeXT. Intermittent coredumps were frequent on 3.2 OS. There were # reports, that the developer version of 3.3 didn't have problems, so it # seemed pretty obvious that we had to work around an malloc bug in 3.2. # This hints file reflects a patch to perl5.002_01 that introduces a # home made sbrk routine (remember, NeXT's sbrk _never_ worked). This # sbrk makes it possible to run perl with its own malloc. Thanks to # Ilya who showed me the way to his sbrk for OS/2!! # andreas koenig, 1996-06-16 ccflags='-DUSE_NEXT_CTYPE -DUSE_PERL_SBRK -DHIDEMYMALLOC' POSIX_cflags='ccflags="-posix $ccflags"' ldflags='-u libsys_s' libswanted='dbm gdbm db' lddlflags='-r' # Give cccdlflags an empty value since Configure will detect we are # using GNU cc and try to specify -fpic for cccdlflags. cccdlflags=' ' i_utime='undef' groupstype='int' direntrytype='struct direct' d_strcoll='undef' # the simple program `for ($i=1;$i<38771;$i++){$t{$i}=123}' fails # with Larry's malloc on NS 3.2 due to broken sbrk() ###################################################################### # above comment should stay here, but is not longer of importance # # with -DUSE_PERL_SBRK and -DHIDEMYMALLOC we can now say 'yes' to # # usemymalloc.
