Hello,
I have a test program that is compiled fine on a 32 bits redhat linux using gcc :
*************** ********
main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
int *ka;
int nka;
/* allocation dynamique entiere */
ka = (int *) malloc(nka * sizeof(int));
if (!ka) {
printf ("<ERROR> : Out of heap space (malloc) !\n");
printf ("<ERROR> : %d int words required\n", nka);
exit (-1);
}
}
*************** ********
But under linux suse AMD opteron 64, i get this message from the compiler :
warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
Any explanation ?
Regards,
Lionel.

Why not compile it with your C compiler and use extern "C"?

You forgot to include stdlib.h again

And this cast hides the error that you forgot to include the header in redhat linux. Casting the result from a function that returns void* is always an error.
Well, I wouldn't go that far. Consider replacing the first occurrence of 'a' with 'A" in a block of 100 bytes, given that it exists.
*(char*)memchr( buffer, 'a', sizeof buffer) = 'A';
seems like a reasonable solution.
You'll get 2 problems here:
1. you forgot to include string.h. results in a faulty conversion of
int to char*
as you supperess the diagnostic the compiler will give you.
2. memchr() may return NULL - results in dereferencing a NULL pointer.
Again: never cast the result of a function that returns pointer to
void because the only you get is a faulty program.

extern "C" only *helps* with linkage.
There is no guarantee, for example, that both the C and C++ compiler
will use the same representation for int.
There is no guarantee that both compilers will pass (or return)
arguments in the same registers or on the stack in the same order.
The only reliable way to link C library functions into C++ programs
is to compile them both with the same C++ compiler.
In article <3F************ @jpl.nasa.gov>, E.************* *@jpl.nasa.gov
says... extern "C" only *helps* with linkage. There is no guarantee, for example, that both the C and C++ compiler will use the same representation for int.
Which platform(s) have C and C++ compilers where this does not work.
Please give a specific example, with example code to show the failure.

Hi,
We ran MySQL (4.0.15-standard, 64-bit, SuSe 8.0) benchmarks
on 2 CPU and 4 CPU Opteron machines. Mostly we tested insertion
times with many simultaneous connections (hundreds). To our
surprise we did not find significant differences.
Each of our servers (2 and 4 CPU machine) has one 1Gbit network
connection. I have feelings that the machines are the network
bounded, not the CPU bounded. Could it be true? How to verify it?

We're thinking of moving to a 64 bit platform for our database. Does

Also what kind of performance increase could we expect if we moved from
a dual 32 bit to a quad 32 bit platform. (We are already using speedy

Let's say we're running DB2 8.1 FP 7 in 64bit mode on SuSE Linux

Has anyone got any experience running such a configuration?

I was wondering what's best for PG, since we have to

Our actual configuration is a dual xeon 2.8ghz with
4Gb ram + scsi disks, and works fine, though some
intensive insert/update processes has taken it to 100%
cpu use.

Hi,
I have been seeing a strange behaviour when doing some tests on a Dual -
Dual Core Opteron system using Windows XP (32bits with SP2).
In out application we have a wrapper around the thread pool to handle the
work on renderers and CPU intensive tasks. On the Dual - Dual Core Opteron,
the application is correctly starting 4 threads but it seems to be running
only 2 concurrently.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
