DCPI-V2.11 Release Notes
Changes since release V2.5:
- DCPI releases V2.6 through V2.9 each had incompatibilities
with various versions of Digital Unix. We believe that these
problems have been corrected, and would appreciate your help
in testing out V2.10: please send mail to dcpi-bugs@pa.dec.com
and let us know whether or not V2.10 worked on your system, and
include the output of the command "uname -a" to identify the
version of Digital Unix on your machine. We apologize for any
inconvenience that our earlier releases may have caused.
- New loader for 4.0c and higher.
Dynamically linked images can be profiled on machines running
DU V3.2 or V4.0*, but not V5.0*. The INSTALL script tests the
DCPI loader before installing it as the default system loader.
- Minor improvements to dcpid image identification.
Image maps for common DU V4.0c and V4.0d binaries are compiled into dcpid.
Fixed identification of large images started before dcpid.
- Major update to dcpi2pix to generate more accurate data.
- Added support for new 21264 instructions.
- V2.11: adds support for compressed kernel modules.
- V2.11: dcpiprof listings now contain information about which named
procedure is near an anonymous procedure to help the user in finding
anonymous procedures.
