by Any help with the following problem will be greatly appreciated:
A 32 bit driver built with the Forte 6 Update 2 C compiler with the
default options for the target architecture instruction set
(i.e. -xarch=generic) seems to cause a system PANIC on a SparcStation-2.
However, it seems to work fine on an UltraSparc-5 running Solaris 2.x
(x >= 6) in 32-bit mode. Furthermore, the problem seems to disappear when
the driver is built with the same compiler with the `xarch' option set to
`v7'.
I was wondering if this is a known issue with the compiler, etal?
Additionally, the PANIC seems to happen when the driver tries to do an
integer multiplication or division operation, which results in an illegal
instruction trap.
Thanks,
