That's quite a lot, but I don't know exactly. FYI, here are the machines known to support MPFR (MPFR uses GMP, but MPFR also uses alloca directly): * alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f (Alpha, gcc 4.1.1), * alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu (Alpha, gcc 4.1.1), * alphaev6-unknown-linux-gnu (Alpha, gcc 3.3.5), * alphaev67-unknown-freebsd5.4 (Alpha, gcc 3.4.2), * alphaev68-dec-osf5.1 (Alpha, gcc 3.2.1), * alphaev68-dec-osf5.1b (Alpha, gcc 4.1.1), * armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnu (XScale-PXA255, gcc 2.95.2), * hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.31 (PA-RISC 8900, HP cc B.11.11.16), * i386-pc-solaris2.9 (gcc 4.1.1), * i386-suse-linux-gnu, * i386-unknown-freebsd5.4 (Intel Pentium III, gcc 3.4.2), * i386-unknown-freebsd6.2 (Intel Pentium III, gcc 3.4.6), * i386-unknown-netbsdelf2.0 (Intel Pentium III, gcc 3.3.3), * i686-pc-linux-gnu (Dual Core AMD Opteron, gcc 3.3.5), * i686-pc-linux-gnu (Intel Pentium D, gcc 4.1.3 prerelease), * ia64-suse-linux-gnu, * ia64-unknown-linux-gnu (Itanium, gcc 3.2.3 prerelease), * ia64-unknown-linux-gnu (Itanium, gcc 4.1.2 prerelease), * mips-sgi-irix6.5 (MIPSpro 7.3.1.3m), * powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.0 (PowerPC G5, gcc 4.0.1), * powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu (PowerPC G4, gcc 4.1.3 prerelease), * powerpc64-ibm-aix5.2.0.0, * powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu (POWER5, gcc 4.1.2 prerelease), * ppc-suse-linux-gnu, * ppc64-suse-linux-gnu, * s390-suse-linux-gnu, * s390x-suse-linux-gnu, * sparc-sun-solaris2.7 (UltraSPARC-II, Sun WorkShop 6 2000/04/07 C 5.1), * sparc-sun-solaris2.8 (gcc 4.1.1), * sparc-sun-solaris2.10 (Sun C 5.8 Patch 121015-03 2006/10/18), * x86_64-solaris2.10 (gcc 4.1.1), * x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, * x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (AMD Opteron, gcc 3.3.5), * x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (AMD Opteron, gcc 4.1.2 prerelease), * Cygwin (Intel Celeron, gcc 3.4.2), * MINGW32_NT-5.1 (Intel Pentium M, gcc 3.4.2). On the other hand, I would like to know what bugs have been found in alloca and on which platform. It's a bit strange that there aren't any references about them. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
