xptcall Porting Status

+ +

What is this?

+ +This is a status page for the multiplatform porting of xptcall. +xptcall has a +FAQ +and a +Porting Guide. + +

+ +This is being maintained by John Bandhauer <jband@netscape.com>. +Feel free to email me with questions or to volunteer to contribute xptcall code for any platform. + +

+ +Mike Shaver <shaver@mozilla.org> +is the best contact regarding 'nix (Unix, Linux, Finux, etc.) ports of xptcall. + +

Done	FreeBSD and NetBSD x86	+Christoph Toshok <toshok@hungry.com>, + +John Bandhauer <jband@netscape.com>	unix (same as Linux 86 code)
Done	BSD/OS x86	+Bert Driehuis <bert_driehuis@nl.compuware.com>	unix (same as Linux 86 code) +Bert contributed patches that should do the right thing for all the unixish-x86 +versions of this code for GCC 2.7 or 2.8 vs. EGCS 1.1. He notes that the vtbl +scheme is different. He is hoping that others will help test the changes using +these two compilers on the various platforms where this same code is used. +Bert's details +
Done	Mac PPC	+ Roger Lawrence <rogerl@netscape.com>, + +Patrick Beard <beard@netscape.com> +	mac (passing tests and checked in)

Done	Solaris Sparc v9 (64bit)	+Stuart Parmenter <pavlov@netscape.com>, + +Chris Seawood <cls@seawood.org> +	unix This is checked in and (pavlov claims!) working.
Done	OS/2	+John Fairhurst <mjf35@cam.ac.uk>	I never heard exactly who did what. But mozilla has been working on OS/2 +for a long time now. +
Done	OpenVMS Alpha	+Colin R. Blake <colin@theblakes.com>	+Colin says this is passing all the tests on OpenVMS Alpha! +
Done	NT Alpha	+bob meader <bob@guiduck.com>	+bob writes: +Enclosed is xptcall for alpha/nt target.. + +It is a variation of the IRIS port (only targeted for win32). + +Notice the last 2 files (the change to mozilla\xpcom\build\makefile.win and +mozilla\xpcom\build) are needed because I was unable to figure how to do a +"declspecexport" from the assembler ASAXP ... if some knows how to do that then +those last 2 files won't be needed. + +I have had someone look over this code at bridge.com (the entry point to +compaq/gem compiler team) and this code was given the OK. I consider it "done". + +This code lives in the files where the name includes 'alpha' in the win32 directory. +
Done	Linux ARM	+Stefan Hanske<sh990154@mail.uni-greifswald.de> +? +Matthew Wilcox <willy@bofh.ai>	+Stefan's code is checked in and he says it is working. +
Done	Linux Sparc	+ +Anton Blanchard <anton@progsoc.uts.edu.au>, + + +Roger Lawrence <rogerl@netscape.com>, + + +Brandon Ehle <ehle.3@osu.edu> +	+Anton contributed patches to Roger's Sparc code. Anton says it works and passes the tests! +(24-Aug-1999) Brandon writes: I've finished testing XPTCALL Sparc Linux on 12 different Sparc machines and it checks out good. +

Done	Linux Alpha	+ +Glen Nakamura <glen.nakamura@usa.net> + +Dan Morril <morrildl@nycap.rr.com> +	+Glen writes: + +I am attaching a patch which contains my Linux Alpha xptcall code. +It passes TestXPTCInvoke and TestXPC on my machine which runs +kernel 2.2.7, glibc 2.1.1, and egcs 1.1.2. I have not tested it +with older GNU compilers such as gcc 2.8.x. From looking at the +Linux x86 code, I gather that the vtable layout is a little different +for those compilers and the code will need minor modifications +in order to work properly. + +I am not sure how much of the code can be used for OpenVMS Alpha +and/or Digital UNIX. Currently the code is dependent on the g++ +name mangling convention and a few GNU extensions so I'm not sure +how useful it will be for the other systems. Hopefully the +comments in the code are detailed enough to help people attempting +a port. + +
Done	SunOS x86	+ +Arthur Jones <aljones@lbl.gov> +? +Philip Pokorny <ppokorny@mindspring.com> +	+The word I hear is that this is working and done +
Done	HP-UX	+ +Thomas Wang <wang@cup.hp.com> + +Mike Gleeson <mgleeson1@netscape.com> +	I hear that this code is checked in and working. Though, there is some +doubt - see bug +#17997 +
Done	AIX PPC	+Jim Dunn <jdunn@netscape.com>	Philip K. Warren writes: + +We have gone through several releases of AIX without any problems. +
Done	Irix	+Jason Heirtzler <jasonh@m7.engr.sgi.com> +	Jason has declared this done. Jason is no longer working at SGI and will +not be maintaining this code. There is some doubt as to whether or not this is +working for everyone - see bug +#10061. +Mike Shaver <shaver@mozilla.org> +is the interim maintainer until someone more suitable can be found. +
Done	BeOS x86	+Duncan Wilcox <duncan@be.com> +	+unix (yet another reuse of the Linux 86 code!) +Duncan says this is all working. He did the code for old cfront style 'this' adjustment for others to use too! +
HELP!	BeOS PPC	-	-
Done	Compaq Tru64 UNIX (Digital UNIX)	+Steve Streeter <streeter@zk3.dec.com> +	Code passes the tests and is checked in.
Working	Neutrio x86	+Jerry L. Kirk <Jerry.Kirk@Nexwarecorp.com> +	+Patches for xptc*_unixish_x86.cpp checked in. Waiting for verification that this is really finished. +
Investigating	SCO UW7 and OSR5	+ +J. Kean Johnston <jkj@sco.com> + +Evan Hunt <evanh@sco.com> +	Recent (Feb-2001) email from jkj@sco.com suggests that work will be occuring soon.

Partially Working	NetBSD/arm32	+Mike Pumford <mpumford@black-star.demon.co.uk> +	Mike writes: +I have started porting to the platform based on the code for Linux ARM. The +InvokeByIndex code works correctly when used with TestXPTCInvoke.
