I've made a preliminary port of Modula-3 to FreeBSD/sparc64 so we can get CVSup running on that platform. I've run into a few problems and have some questions. First, how close are we to having a working gdb on that platform? I am able to cross-compile a bootstrap compiler, producing a bunch of assembly language files. Those assemble and link fine on the sparc64. But the resulting program gets a segmentation violation immediately when I run it. Without a debugger it's practically impossible to determine what's going wrong. Also, I have a question about the proper gcc configuration for this platform. I configured the Modula-3 back end (a hacked up gcc) for the target "sparc64-sun-elf". Is that likely to produce correct code for FreeBSD? NOTE, the only thing that matters is the code generation. The compiler doesn't use the C front end, so it doesn't care about header file search paths, C-specific things, or much of anything else. Only the translation from trees to machine instructions matters. John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
