February 13, 2004 Characters before OPTLINK | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I have impression that link.exe outputs unnecessary characters in its banner: link /NOLOGO /SILENT test.res OPTLINK (R) for Win32 Release 7.50B1 Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989 - 2001 All Rights Reserved Between '.res' and 'OPTLINK' there are three chars 0D 0A 0D. This is not visible on screen but visible when you output results to file and try to use in the context of "Windows-type text files". Note that this copyright is outputed while switches /NOLOGO /SILENT suggest it should not. I run hundreds of builds in test suit for wxWindows and this is a little annoying when you analyze files. Is there any chance to fix both issues (if they are fixable at all). ABX |

Hmm, what can I do if this linker crashes or hangs frequently on one of my machines? Tests does not show hardware corruption and I run several other hard tasks on this machine. Is there any known problem with OPTLINK under WinXP on P4 2.6 GHz with MB 800MHz ? Neither crash nor hanging are regular. How can I make it to work, this happen either with free DMC and full DMC install from CD. If this is made with assembler, is it ready for P4, hyper threading, fast mother board and other modern "goodies"? Any idea ? ABX |

It has proven to be a very reliable program. It's built with 386 code, so should run fine on any 32 bit x86 processor. |

Posted in reply to W³odzimierz Skiba | OptLink has problems: * On multi processor platform. Every once and a while OptLink would just freeze on me on my Dual P3 733 MHz... The Machine I now use as the internet host system which hosts www.digitalmars.com and news.digitalmars.com... ;-) * If you have HUGE static data. Something like: struct DATA { DWORD array [ 16 ]; }; DATA hugedata [ 1000000 ]; OptLink might crash and just take the IDDE down with it. * ??? Sorry if I have not been too forth comming which information. Thanks!

Posted in reply to Arjan Knepper | I think OptLink has a lock problem. It is heavy multi threaded if I am correct and does something wrong with locking... :-( Arjan Knepper wrote: > I'm experiencing the same kind of problems with optlink on a brand new Intel 875PBZ P4 system with Windows XP and HT > > Arjan > > Jan Knepper wrote: > >> OptLink has problems: >> >> >> >> * On multi processor platform.

Posted in reply to Jan Knepper | I expect a workaround would be the same solution we used at work by setting the processor affinity. There is a utility that will set it. It's not the one we used but it should do the job. http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/processutil/processutil.htm (Scroll near the bottom for the download) Basically, you can tell the program to select a particular combination of processors to run on using a bit mask. I've not tried it on hyperthreaded machines only on dual processor machines but I believe they appear the same to the OS so it should work. I just found this site by doing a quick search. Looks quite useful actually. Hope this helps. Regards, Phil Jan Knepper wrote: > I think OptLink has a lock problem.
