SUSE Linux Porting Advisories

SLE 10 to SLE 11: GCC

ISVs should read through the GNU GCC documentation to be aware of any differences in the new compiler.

Documentation for GCC 4.3.2 which includes section 10 Known Causes of Trouble with GCC.

Definition of HZ in /usr/include/asm/param.h

The system header file /usr/include/asm/param.h defines HZ=1024, but /proc/config.gz shows that the kernel has been compiled with HZ=250. The definition of HZ in the file /usr/include/asm/param.h is static, /proc/config.gz is a compile time option when the kernel is built. This makes it impossible to change the system headers to a value which reflects what the kernel was built with. Applications still using HZ need to be fixed to use sysconf [SYSCONF(3)], as changing the definition in the system header file will not change what the kernel was built with.
