- Procedure level code repositioning is already available on series 700
- workstations. This feature is supported in the linker. See the HP-UX
- man page for ld(1) and look at the text regarding the -I and -P
- options.
-
- On HP-UX release 9.0 for the series 700 and series 800 systems, we
- will be introducing basic block level code repositioning for the C and
- FORTRAN language products.
-
- HP's implementation is based on the techiques described in Pettis &
- Hansen's "Profile Guided Code Positioning" which is published in the
- SIGPLAN '90 conference proceedings (SIGPLAN Notices, Vol 25, No 6, June
- 1990, pgs 16-27.)
