* these are dependencies for gcc 4 Graphite engine build. * CLooG 0.18.0 includes ISL 0.11.1 which is the backend that the build script enables. * PPL is needed by GCC build even if it isn't the chosen backend.

There appears to be a bug in GCC (all versions up to and including
|
|
4.3.x) concerning exception handling on the Alpha. This may be
|
|
related to
|
|
|
|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8966
|
|
|
|
Strictily speaking, the PPL uses exception handling, so if that does
|
|
not work on the Alpha, then the PPL does not work on the Alpha. And
|
|
there is nothing to do but fix the GCC bug.
|
|
|
|
However, if that GCC bug really only affects exception handling and nothing
|
|
else, given that the PPL only uses exceptions for error reporting, we can
|
|
probably say that the PPL works on the Alpha *apart* from error reporting.
|
|
In other words, under this hypothesis (which we have no way to check),
|
|
users that are not interested in catching exceptions thrown by the PPL
|
|
(in response to invalid arguments, heap exhaustion, overflows, ...)
|
|
should probably not worry. Your mileage may vary...
