3873.0. "-s2 problems on v3.2g" by RHETT::HALETKY () Wed May 21 1997 17:48

    Cusotmer has the following problem.
    
    
    -s2 works for a small application with 3.2g and v3.3 of ADA.
    
    -s2 works for a large application with v4.0b and v3.3 of ADA
    
    -s2 does NOT work on a large application with v3.2g and v3.3 of ADA.
    
    
    Is such a problem was asked to  be fixed would it be? And what would
    you need to fix it on v3.2g of Digital Unix.
    
    
    Best regards,

3873.1We work on problems reported; haven't seen this one (yet)KMOOSE::CMCCUTCHEONCharlie McCutcheonTue May 27 1997 14:5218
I assume you're asking about the status of dynamic linking on UNIX, using
ald -S2.

I don't know if any problems with this feature.  It apparently got dropped
from documenation for V3.3 for some mysterious reason, but is in our SPD,
so its supposed to be supported.

My fear would be that if you see a problem on UNIX 3.2G, but not on UNIX 4.0B,
that this is probably a UNIX issue, not DEC Ada.  This is normally the case
when the operating system changes make things work/fail without Ada changes,
especially when a change makes something suddenly work!  8-)

We work on problems reported, so if you customer reports it we'd take a look.
My gut feeling would be that they should use UNIX 4.0B, that 3.2G has a
problem that we'd have to transfer to some other group, which would delay
any solution for them.
