Other sources +compile fine with -O flag. If you are going to use this flag either +add a special rule to Makefile for a compilation of regex.c, or issue +'cc -c regex.c' before hitting 'make'. + +From: Steve Simmons <scs@wotan.iti.org> +Subject: Non-bug report on gawk 2.13.2 +To: david@cs.dal.ca, arnold@skeeve.atl.ga.us +Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1991 13:45:38 -0300 + +Just fyi -- it passes tests with flying colors under Ultrix 4.2. The +README.ultrix file applies more than ever. You might want to add +these paragraphs to it: + + As of Ultrix 4.2 the optimise works for regex.c, but you must give an + additional switch to get everything optimised. Using '-Olimit 1500' + does the job. Without the switch gawk will compile and run correctly, + but you will get complaints about lost optimisations in builtin.c, + awk.tab.c and regex.c. |
