@ -3304,16 +3304,13 @@ This is Sun bug 4237974. This is fixed with patch 108908-02 for Solaris
|
|||
starting with Solaris 7.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing
|
||||
64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.0 doesn't properly support this yet.
|
||||
Although some patches or recipes to enable this support have been posted
|
||||
to various newsgroups and mailing lists, we recommend against using
|
||||
them, since the compiler may either crash or, worse, silently generate
|
||||
bad code. If you really need this capability now, you might try a CVS
|
||||
version of GCC 3.1, which will fully support this. If all you want is
|
||||
code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you should try the
|
||||
@option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which should be safe from
|
||||
those bugs and produce code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run
|
||||
on non-UltraSPARC machines.
|
||||
64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later should properly support
|
||||
this. GCC 3.0 lacks the infrastructure necessary to support this
|
||||
configuration properly. However, if all you want is code tuned for
|
||||
the UltraSPARC CPU, you should try the @option{-mtune=ultrasparc}
|
||||
option instead, which should be safe from those bugs and produce code
|
||||
that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC
|
||||
machines.
