Re: [SSI] Alpha

[John B. <joh...@co...>]

Aneesh,

I chose a different set of ugly hacks to try to deal with the XDR
problems for the moment. (I may end up removing XDR from our source base
at some point; XDR is overkill for our setup.) With the attached patch,
"int", "long", etc. aren't allowed in SSI XDR files. Instead,
"arch_int", "arch_long", etc. are used to insure that the types have the
same size as the architecture we are dealing with. If you have the
opportunity, please try the patch and tell me if things work. I did
modify the loop code in as_xscribe.c to not depend on TASK_SIZE, but I
chose to terminate the loop in a different manner than you did.
Unfortunately, a lot of tweaks crawled in with the necessary changes.

John

P.S. I'd be interested in seeing what you put together for the alpha
ret_from_rproc hook, so far.
