The floating point support macros do not handle VAX floating instructions that have "modify" operands (ie, ADDF2) that used auto-inc or auto-dec addressing modes. The ADDF2 macro uses the second operand twice in the generated code. This leads to the auto-inc or auto-dec being done twice instead of once. -- COVER LETTER -- Page 2 29 March 2002 Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]STARLET.MLB o An internal field to count flow nodes was limited to 32K. However, there was no check to see if it overflowed. When it overflowed, it caused an ACCVIO later downstream. Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]ALPHA_MACRO.EXE o CMPW of values that are more than 32767 apart will give the wrong result. Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]ALPHA_MACRO.EXE o AMACRO's floating point support macros do not correctly handle double-precision floating point immediate operands require more than 7 digits of precision. Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]STARLET.MLB 6 KIT INSTALLATION RATING: The following kit installation rating, based upon current CLD information, is provided to serve as a guide to which customers should apply this remedial kit.
