Hi all, so, here you are: all the patches (against the 3.1.6 version downloaded from SourceForge) needed to get ht://Dig flying on VMS. Some comments:
- I set up a top-level directory `build_vms' for almost all of the VMS specific files (save the Makefiles, called DESCRIP.MMS by default) - I included zlib-1.1.4 and rx-1.5 under build_vms/ because I wanted a standalone source kit - All the *IVP* and *PCSI* stuff is there to build/install a distribution kit - I included all patches to BerkeleyDB from SleepyCat. This gets libdb to 2.6.4-pl10 - I set up libdb to build as a shareable image (errr... what's that in Unixland? - .so?) - htcommon/wordlist.cc : The tempfile gets opened once and stays open for the rest of the program run (while being secured against opening a different one). That change alone cut run time in half! - htdig/retriever.cc:682 : I had (almost immediately after publication ;-) a request from a guy wanting to index https URLs. - htlib/vms_access.c : The VMS C RTL access() routine doesn't take into account all the access mechanisms of VMS, in particular access via privileges and via ACLs <sigh> - htlib/configuration.cc : The VMS C RTL does cope with Unix notation file specs quite nicely (which is a great relief in porting). Users, however, prefer VMS syntax ;-) - htlib/dictionary.cc : I identified the Dictionary::hashCode routine as another performance bottleneck, and thought that a bit of assembler would do good here. It did, but only a few percent - sometimes I hate the Compaq C++ optimizer... - htlib/htwordtype.h : Compaq C++ doesn't like private static members. - htcommon/documentdb.cc : I just noticed that the patch to is not necessary any more (as there are no longer sorts going on). cu, Martin -- OpenVMS: | Martin Vorlaender VMS & WNT programmer When you KNOW | work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] where you want | http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/ to go today. | home: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
