UNIX

Insure++4.1 Updates 11/23/98

1. Notes for HP-UX11.0:

• Gcc is supported with the "Insure++.symbol_table off" option.
  
  
• All 64-bit modes are also supported with "Insure++.symbol_table off".
  
  
• All GUIs (except Inuse) support 64-bit mode.
  
  
• LRT (i.e., "Insure++.interface_preference tql") mode does not work in 64-bit mode in HP11.
  
  
• POSIX Thread Draft 10 (pthread) for 32-bit mode is now supported.
  
  
• The option "-Wl,-a,archive" is not supported since "libc.a" is brain-dead (shl_load, shl_findsym, and shl_unload" symbols are left unsatisfied).
  
  
• The "Insure++.static_linking on" option is not supported.

Insure++4.0 -> Insure++4.1

1. Faster, Better Parser, including full egcs 2.9.0/g++ 2.8.0 support
   
   
2. Faster, Better Runtime
   
   
3. Miscellaneous Bug Fixes
   
   
4. New Suppressions for Insra w/ Insure (to match our CodeWizard product)
   
   
   • Users can now insert, modify, delete, save, and add comments to suppression options for Insure++ messages.
   
   
   
5. Generally improved functionality for Insra, including:
   
   
   • suppressions across different view modes, automatic duplicate
   • error suppression for CodeWizard, etc.
   
   
   
6. Ability to add comments to suppressions
   
   
7. More customization options, including:
   
   
   • insra.viewmode [by_error|by_file|by_time|off|tool] Specifies initial view mode (i.e. order in which error messages are displayed).
   • format_alias char * CString Supports classes which imitate other built-in types for convenience in functions like printf.
   • format_suppress llx Suppresses error messages from Insure++ about bad format strings (to printf, etc.) which are not actually bad but use non-standard format specifications.
   
   
   
8. New "AutoReports" option for Inuse
   
   
9. Digital Unix 4.0d support (alpha4)
   
   
10. AIX 4.3 support
    
    
11. Supports the installation of Insure++ in the same directory for different versions of the AIX operating system. That is, Insure++ for AIX 4.1.3, AIX 4.2.1 and AIX 4.3 can all coexist in the "/usr/local/Parasoft" directory. For example, install the distribution on one version of the OS, then login and execute the following on each of the other OS versions:

            
                cd /usr/local/parasoft
                cp .install.aix4/configure.
                ./configure aixlibs
    
           

12. On AIX 4.3, if your DISPLAY is not the console and you are getting the "Error: Can't open display: host_name:0" message, you need to reset your DISPLAY environment variable to the numeric IP address of the display host, e.g.

       
              setenv DISPLAY 192.105.176.91:0
