OpenVMS ALPDPML01_071 DPML Routines for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPDPML01_071 DPML Routines for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 ECO Summary NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 1998. All rights reserved. Modification Date: 25-SEP-1998 Modification Type: Updated Documentation to include V7.1-1Hx support. PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: DPML$SHR.EXE Replaced in STARLET.OLB: MATH$POW_FF MATH$POW_GG MATH$POW_SS MATH$POW_TT MATH$F_POW_FF MATH$F_POW_GG MATH$F_POW_SS MATH$F_POW_TT MATH$NXTAFTR_F MATH$NXTAFTR_G MATH$NXTAFTR_S MATH$NXTAFTR_T MATH$NXTAFTR_X MATH$NEXTAFTER_F MATH$NEXTAFTER_G MATH$NEXTAFTER_S MATH$NEXTAFTER_T MATH$NEXTAFTER_X MATH$F_POW_O_FF MATH$F_POW_O_GG MATH$F_POW_O_SS MATH$F_POW_O_TT MATH$POW_O_FF MATH$POW_O_GG MATH$POW_O_SS MATH$POW_O_TT SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPDPML01_071 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1721 Blocks Saveset A - 1710 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Installation Rating: 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for DIGITAL Portable Math Library (DPML) on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2. This kit addresses the following problems: o After upgrading from OpenVMS alpha V7.0 to V7.1, an application calling a DPML (DPML$SHR.EXE) routine failed with a %SYSTEM-F_HPARITH error. o The problem statement for this QAR included a small program which showed that pow ( 4.079442787314344e-16, 20. ) failed with compiled with -D-FASTMATH, but worked otherwise. The equivalent VMS scenario produces an HPARITH trap caused by using a denormal value as an operand. o MATH$NXTAFTR_F and MATH$NXTAFTR_G were returning an incorrect value when an overflow condition occurred. INSTALLATION NOTES: Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL ALPDPML01_071 [location of the saveset] The saveset location may be a tape drive, or a disk directory that contains the kit saveset. System should be rebooted after successful installation of the kit. If you have other nodes in your VMScluster, they should also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s).
