Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_16585
Symptoms:
PHSS_16585:
1. RWCString::readLine(,true) doesn't set failbit
PHSS_15043:
1. eofbit in istrstream not set correctly
2. Performance problem with STL vector
3. STL <functional> times should be replaced by multiplies
(<sys/times.h>)
4. Linking with libcma causes SIGBUS at runtime
PHSS_14262:
1. Loop in shared library initializer from shl_load and
threads
PHSS_13388:
1. Excessive memory usage with <list>, long compile times
too
2. iostream library doesn't perform new/delete correctly
3. RWTPtrSortedVector::index() doesn't return npos if not
found
4. RWTValHashDictionary must be replaced by RWTValHashMap
5. Memory leak with threads and libstd with string
6. const_iterator not implemented in container classes
PHSS_12609:
1. string(, string::npos) throws length_error vs.
out_of_range
2. Error 641 on some RW source files if -DRW_NO_STL
3. MEMBER TEMPLATES: <memory> needs more typename fixes
4. Excessive memory usage with <list>, long compile times
too
5. tools.h++ headers: Future error 641 need to be fixed
PHSS_10113:
1. This patch is required for the libraries to be compatible
with the A.01.04 release of the aC++ compiler. The
results of using incompatible libraries are
unpredicatable.
PHSS_10053:
Slow startup times for shared libraries that have been
produced with aCC.
PHSS_9527:
1. Bus error in rwtool templates with -z and threads
2. Error 243 with RW template collection
PHSS_9201:
Error messages from dld.sl will show the incorrect location
of dld.sl. They will show "/usr/lib/dld.sl" instead of
"/usr/lib/aCC/dld.sl".
PHSS_8324:
1. Supply core libraries for aC++ revision A.01.00.
PHSS_8177:
Programs compiled with aC++ will not execute
unless a special dld.sl is present on the system.
Defect Description:
PHSS_16585:
1. RWCString::readLine(,true) only sets eofbit upon EOF.
Using the ios::operator void*() does not return false in
this case. The following is never false.
while (f.readLine(,true))
PHSS_15043:
1. When using istrstream to read numbers or a character
string at the end of the buffer, the setting of the eofbit
is inconsistent. With numbers eofbit is not set.
2. the std library container vector performance problem.
The execution time for insertion grows more than linearly
with number of elements, as required by standard.
3. me clash for "times" defined in system header
<sys/times.h> and non-standard conforming C++ standard
library header <functional>.
4. Executables linked with libcma receive SIGBUS before
reaching main().
PHSS_14262:
1. dld processes initializers with all signals turned off.
Some applications stop responding to anything but kill -9:
because dld is in a critical section with all signals turned
off and static initializer locks a mutex twice causing
deadlock.
PHSS_13388:
1. aCC consumes much memory for small lists or other small
containers this does not conform with the ANSI DRAFT.
2. The version of libCsup with patch PHSS_12609, A.01.07,
changed operators new[] and delete[] to no longer call the
non-array operators.
This change exposed a problem in libstream where there is a
mismatch in strstream and streambuf where operator new[] and
then operator delete is called.
3. The function RWTPtrSortedVector<T>::index() doesn't
return npos as documented, if it is < first element. It
returns 0 instead. If in between elements it returns
lower_bound.
4. The RogueWave documentation for tools.h++ template
RWTValHashDictionary template should mention that it has
four parameters.
5. Memory leak when using <string> with either threads
library, libcma or libpthread. This problem will occur on
10.20, 10.30 and 11.0 with various combinations of the two
leaks.
6. The following aCC program can't be compiled:
#include <map>
int main() { map<int, double> myMap;
map<int,double>::const_iterator i = myMap.begin();
double a = i->second;
// double a = (*i).second is ok! a = a * 2.5;
return 0; }
$ aCC main.c Error 185: "main.c", line 11 # Left side
of '->' requires a pointer to class; type found was
'class const_iterator'. double a = i->second
PHSS_12609:
1. basic_string(const charT* s, size_type n,
const Allocator& a = Allocator());
Creates a string that contains the first n characters of s.
s must not be a NULL pointer. The effects of this
constructor are:
An out_of_range exception will be thrown if n == npos.
2. Some RW sources/includes are giving the 641 (future)
error. Here is an example one:
Error (future) 641: "/opt/aCC/include/rw/xvdlist.cc", line
493 # Undeclared variable 'advance'.
Did you forget to make the variable dependent on the
template type parameters so it would be looked up when
templates are generated?
advance();
^^^^^^^
3. MEMBER TEMPLATES: <memory> needs more typename fixes.
4. aCC consumes much memory for small lists or other small
containers.
5. Undeclared variable, future error 641, issued.
PHSS_10113:
1. A.01.04 compatability
PHSS_10053:
The problem is that the dynamic loader is repeatedly
applying relocations in a shared library, that should only
be applied once. This leads to a noticable performance
degradation.
PHSS_9527:
1. The library was destructing an object before it had
been initialized when using threads.
2. A class that inherits from a Roguewave collection
template classes could not call certain functions defined in
the base class.
PHSS_9201:
The appropriate string in the source had not been updated
when the special dld.sl was created.
PHSS_8324:
1. The core libraries for aC++ A.01.00 are not included in
the HP-UX core releases.
PHSS_8177:
aC++ requires a different linker and dld.sl because of
special fixups that are needed to support the C++ language.

Installation Instructions:
Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
before installing this patch.
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Back up your system before installing a patch.
2. Login as root.
3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.
4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:
cd /tmp
sh PHSS_16585
5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
patch:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
-s /tmp/PHSS_16585.depot
5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
server to install the patch on the server and the clients:
swcluster -i -b
This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
force all clients to be shut down.
WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
patch installation. Installing the patch while the
clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
serious problems.
The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
you must specify:
alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
source depot path - /tmp/PHSS_16585.depot
To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
"Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
from the Menubar.
5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:
- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
the patch on the cluster server.
- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
the patch on the cluster clients.
By default swinstall will archive the original software in
/var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_16585. If you do not wish to retain a
copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.
Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful
when using this feature.
It is recommended that you move the PHSS_16585.text file to
/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.
To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
tape drive, use the command:
dd if=/tmp/PHSS_16585.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
