[PerfSuite-users] Re: PerfSuite: psrun and 32bit code on x86_64 (fwd)

[Rick K. <rk...@nc...>]

Alex,

This is a good point and I appreciate the feedback.  What's currently out 
there is very much a "vanilla" build system.  Part of that is due to 
not-extensive use here of PerfSuite/psrun on the AMD64 platform (something 
I expect to change in the future).

To answer your question: yes, supporting but 32/64 libraries would be very 
useful and should be in the works.  Current plans are to release an 0.6.2 
beta in August or September and more complete support for that would be 
very useful.  Everything has to be done under the Autotools framework, so 
it might take a little bit of thinking to get it right (or "standard").

Any feedback on how things should look (in terms of the filesystem layout, 
for example) would be much appreciated.  I'll copy the list in case others 
have run into the same issues.

Thanks - glad to hear you are at least partially there!

Rick

I'm guessing psrun would need both a 32bit and a 64bit library to work this way.  Is this possible?  Do you have plans to implement?  Thanks!
