AFAIK it didn't work (or the ctfmerge patch was rejected (I don't remeber all details of the discussion anymore)) which forced us to rip the whole VLA code out... ;-( ... anyway... if "DEBUGFORMAT=-xdebugformat=dwarf" really works and is allowed within OS/Net then we finally have the cart out of the mud (few weeks to late for ksh93s+ to get all the VLA patches re-integrated into the upstream codebase but we have lots of time during the ksh93t- development cycle... :-) ). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
