Subject: OpenVMS XDR problem - have you compiled on OpenVMS/Alpha yet?
I don't know what the correct changes to xdrfloat.c should be. Have you
made the changes yet? Before I go diggin into the bowels of Engineering to
solve this one, I just wanted to check with you first.
Thanks.
Rich

Subj: Problem with XDR on Alpha under OpenVMS
Hi Rich,
Thanks for your speedy reply. We checked, and our XDR routines are current
with what is on Internet. And we are working under OpenVMS (V1.5). To be
a bit more specific about what I tried, I modified the xdrfloat.c program
(which has a date in it's header of 87/11/04) to change the
#ifdef vax to #if defined(vax) || defined(__ALPHA) and
#ifndef vax to #if !defined(vax) || !defined(__ALPHA)
When I attempt to compile this, I get the following compiler crash:
$ ccc XDRFLOAT.C
%GEM-F-ASSERTION, An invalid buffer length was specified
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows
Image Name Module Name Routine Name Line Number rel PC abs PC

I guess the xdrfloat.c routine may be ok (the single precision real number
format is the same between the VAX and AXP)--but unless we can compile it
we can't try it! You mentioned you have someone a Digital who might be able
to shed some light on this? Thanks.
Doug

Fiddled around a bit with the Makefile's and include files last night.
CFLAGS=-g -std -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_CONVEX_SOURCE were needed and
I had to modify a few #include incantations. Also some places where
#ifdef convex were used, I added __convex__, too. float infinity fill
values pulled from <float.h>. Perhaps one or two other minor things.
link flags were -lrpd into pointer to double and pointer to union containers.
Can someone try this out? I'm willing to help.

hough not the
supplied routines). nctest got past the initial error you ran into, but
fails in the attrget test retrieving -4.5 ... instead of 4.5 ...
