Rhys &/or Gopal,
I see AIX code segments in pnet, but they are light on for version
info. A link in aix_irix_threads.c took me to an AIX 5L 5.2 reference.
A comment in gcconfig.h refers to AIX 3.x.
Do you recall anything more substantial than this about AIX versions
that pnet works under?
That stuff comes from the third-party libgc package, so we don't
really know
much about how it works across AIX versions.
Also interested in whether IBM native compilers (VisualAge) were used
or gcc ported to AIX?
(Noted a reference to AIX on //www.dotgnu.org, but a search on
//www.getdotgnu.com for "AIX" yielded no hits.)
Since AIX isn't a highly used OS by the rank and file DotGNU'ers,
anyone who
has AIX is pretty much on their own. We will of course accept patches
to fix
any problems that are found. We just aren't in a position to find them
ourselves or to document all of the versions that it does or does not
work
with.
I suppose this is a long-winded way of saying that in the absence of
an AIX
volunteer, you just became it. :-)
