First of all, Cory...have you tried using Sun's compiler? It kicks the snot out
of GCC for SPARC code generation. I did give you a copy.
I would suggest that this would be a good idea.
I have an old SparcStation which I fire up once every few years to test simh on a Big Endian platform. It has a Linux disk and a Solaris disk (I don't recall the version). I do not have a sun C compiler. The last time I fired it up (more than a year ago) the basic testing worked out fine but I noticed that some things were so slow it was practically unusable. I isolated some slow behavior down to an operation which walked across a 64MB chunk of VAX memory one byte at a time. The 64MB array is stored in a single malloc'ed area. This walk across the 64MB took some 20 seconds, while the same operation on my Windows desktop takes far less than any time I could measure on my watch. My theory was that it was spending all of its time in the alignment trap handler, but I didn't have enough knowledge to dig into the details.
The test case is demonstrated by the following commands:
$ BIN/vax
MicroVAX 3900 simulator V4.0-0 Beta
sim> set cpu 64m
sim> save somefile
The save operation writes the current simulator state to a file.

I don't think gcc specific options are used if the compiler isn't gcc. That is
why I'd like to know 'how things work out'....
I seem to recall that they were, the last time I did it, but it has been awhile

The makefile was drastically rewritten in simh v3.9 (last May) and even more so since then.
Ahh ok, excellent.

In case it isn't obvious, using this makefile with a different
compiler (called
suncc for instance) is done by:
$ make GCC=suncc vax
Let me know how things work out....

Unfortunately I missed backing that up in the OS version testing it slipped my mind. :(
You mean I went through all that trouble installing and configuring
Solaris for you on that machine and you reloaded it? Fucker.
In my defense I needed to learn how to install Solaris from scratch. ;)
I'll put the compiler up for download shortly. I'm flying out for
work tomorrow at oh-God-thirty AM so it will have to be in a couple of
days. Ping me.
Okay. Will do. Thanks.
