I’m not going to apologize for defending the QNX OS – it’s a damn
good
OS.
Put up, or make constructive suggestions. Please!
-RK
It IS a fantastic OS. I’ve bitched too. You all know that. But I still
know that they’ve done most things right. And 6 IS better than 4.
I think that if QSSL could get a better compiler from ANYWHERE (and sorry,
no I don’t know where) it would improve many things many times over.
Short
of that then maybe some profiling and hand generating certain key routines
in asm is the answer. I know this idea sucks because it means there is a
different source for each platform.
If you need so much “any other compiler” check www.openwatcom.com where you
can find the full source code for Watcom 11.x.
It’s quite portable and can be built at least for QNX4 with Watcom 10.6. Of
course it’s targeted to x86 only.

Rumors have it that there are still ‘some bottleneck’.

To be honest, I’ve burned the 6.2 CD but have not installed it.

Hi Bill…

I got almost 6x speed improvements over 6.01a by just coding memmove()

I
think the real problem was that after each byte moved, it kept checking
to
see if it won yet or not. I took that part out. ;~}
I wonder, is the same still true for 6.2.0, or was that part fixed with
something similar to your solution in the latest rtp version?

www.openqnx.com posted a news with the exact download url when
openwatcom 11.x source was first released. go there and dig

Full source, where?
ftp://ftp.openwatcom.com in general and as an example here
ftp://ftp.openwatcom.com/watcom/openwatcom/
I tried version 0.8.4
Of course its clib dosn’t include QNX specific code. QNX isn’t supported by
OpenWatcom at all.
// wbr
Yes, but QNX-cpecific libc code is posted on cvs.qnx.com I understand.
I’ve heard some utility to build it is missing, but that should not be
an obstacle for a die-hard QNX4 fan with lots of expereince, should it?

Oh yes, of course ! For hard core QNX4 fans who programmed even IBM 1130 and
know as own five fingers iRMX86, iRMX286, VAX/VMS,
Unix, Xenix, and Linux this shouldn’t be a challenge at all. Guess a 48
hours mind storm at some weekend and the deal’s done. Not so much to do,
really. For hard core QNX4 fans of course, not for me.

I actually still had card decks dating from 1975 for the 1130 in my basement
(card decks in the basement, not an 1130) up until my move to Florida 5
years ago. Now I’m sorry I tossed them because my kids wouldn’t believe me
if I told them that I had to program that way back then.
I don’t know whether to be proud or embarrassed, but I could actually read
Hollerith (punch) code. I didn’t have to rely on the print along the top of
the card. Good thing because the ink ribbons were always in need of
replacement!
Hard core QNX fans are those who remember what it was like to run QNX1.0 on
a single-floppy, no hard drive PC with key development tools in a ramdisk
and think that the performance was wonderful! But I don’t remember that at
all. They say the 2nd thing to go is your memory, and I can’t remember the
1st.
