has anybody knoticed anythign about the postincrement in linux?
using gcc (v 2.6.2 as well as v2.7) a postincremented variable is evaluated
at the incremented amount instead of the value before incremetation as per
the standard. It works properly on my DECstation..
anybody else notice this?

No, but I noticed something strange. I had a routine that worked with Linux,
but when I ran it on a decstation, the whole thing failed. Turned out
that on the decstation (compiler gcc), the postincrement was done as a
pre-increment! Just the opposite of what you are noticing! Isn't that funny..
This cost me quote some headache before I figured it out.

1. Linux-x86 binaries under Solaris-x86?
Has anyone looked into the possibility of running dynamically
(or statically) linked Linux ELF binaries under Solaris on
intel platforms?
I prefer Solaris instead of Linux on our Intel boxes for a
variety of reasons. However, many of the 3rd-party apps that
we use on our desktop systems (e.g, MATLAB, Maple, Frame,
Mathematica, Entropic Xwaves, SPlus, etc.) are unavailable
for Solaris-x86. Even Netscape, a software vendor with a very
strong emphasis on multi-platform support, only provides
their Navigator3.01 product as a "unsupported" binary on
Solaris-x86. I'm doubtful that they will support Solaris-x86
at all for their upcoming Communicator release. However,
many of the above-mentioned apps and others are becoming
available for Linux as dynamically linked binaries.
It should be possible (theoretically) to run these Linux
binaries under Solaris, but I suspect there may be significant
difficulties in porting the Linux libdl.so (dynamic linker)
and libC.so libraries to Solaris-x86--especially in dealing
with possible differences in the include files and OS calling
conventions.
Has anyone looked into this yet?
