N32 Migration Requirements
In order to implement n32, Silicon Graphics provides the following to our customers:
- A compiler that supports n32. (The 6.1 version of MIPSpro compilers supports n32).
- A kernel that supports n32. (IRIX 6.1 supports n32).
- N32 versions of each library.
To take advantage of the n32 ABI, our customers must:
- Install n32 OS, compiler, and all n32 libraries.
- Rewrite Assembly code to conform to n32 guidelines.
- Prototype C functions that use varargs.
- Recompile all the code with the compiler that supports n32 (use -n32 on the command line). Makefile changes are needed only if explicit library paths are used.
