- I've recently worked on an alpha and written a programm in MACRO.
- I had a
- x: .blkb 16*1024*1024
- statement and whoa! my image file had over 32000 blocks !
-
- On the vax if you had that .blkb statement, the image file was just a
- couple of blocks and (i believe) the image activator would create those
- pages when you ran the image. On alpha it seems to be the linker who
- preallocates them. Can this behaviour be modified ?
-
- I have no "real" access to the alpha system, i can only put up
- benchmark programs and have them compiled, linked and executed,
- so please forgive me if a simple $ help link or something similar
- would have told me waht to do.
-
- Thanks, Franz.
