    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 <[email protected]>. Feel free to email me with questions or to volunteer to contribute xptcall code for any platform.

    Mike Shaver <[email protected]> is the best contact regarding 'nix (Unix, Linux, Finux, etc.) ports of xptcall.

    Done BSD/OS x86 Contributed code! Bert Driehuis <[email protected]> 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

    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 Alpha Contributed code! Glen Nakamura <[email protected]>
    Contributed code! Dan Morril <[email protected]>    		 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.

    We have gone through several releases of AIX without any problems.
    Done Irix Contributed code! Jason Heirtzler <[email protected]> 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 <[email protected]> is the interim maintainer until someone more suitable can be found.
    Done BeOS x86 Contributed code! Duncan Wilcox <[email protected]> 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!

    Partially Working NetBSD/arm32 Investigating Mike Pumford <[email protected]> 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. I am currently working on making TestXPC function correctly.

    I am doing the porting work with egcs-1.1.2 on NetBSD 1.4P (NetBSD-current snapshot from a couple of days ago).

    HELP! All others! - -

    Note: I've used the symbol (?) to indicate people who have expressed an interest in possibly contributing code. Just because these people are listed here does not mean that they have commited themselves to do the work. If you would like to contribute then let me know. Feel free to email these folks and offer to help or find out what's going on. We're all in this together.
