Oracle Database Support Matrix for HP-UX (Itanium)

15474ee1-0a4c-4067-aeb6-35ddadefe218Aug 10 2016 — edited Aug 10 2016

Hi,

I'm not able to find a support matrix that shows for how long and which versions of the Oracle Database that will be supported on a HP-UX (Itanium) platform.

Furthermore I'm not able to find information about if future versions of the Oracle Database (12.2 upwards) will be supported for HP-UX (Itanium).

Hope somebody can help by provding links that are up to date (e.g. Itanium  isn't reflecting up to date information as 121 is supported according to Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2.0) for HP-UX Itanium ).

(The context is in relation to Oracle used as DB for SAP systems)

Thanks a lot in advance.

KR

As soon as a -xO[0-5] is set, the following error is produced: "test.cpp", [main]:ube: error: Invalid reference to argument '0' in GASM Inlining
Without optimisation compiler runs a "simple" code generator, which is know to have issues with gnu-inline-asm.
With -O0+ compiler runs a different backend (named UBE).
It has much better support for gnu-inline-asm, though you seem to have hit a bug in it.
The atomic_add32() is taken straight from boost.
What library it comes from?
I did not see these hiccups on intel Solaris, and this particular part of the compiler is not platform specific (Linux should not differ to Solaris).

Well, it appears I was wrong here.
The header boost/interprocess/detail/atomic.hpp is very platform/compiler specific and it uses Solaris' atomic interface on Solaris :(

Btw, did you enable __GNUC__ to get it working through gnu-asm?

Yes, unfortunately that part is rather specific. Once C++11 reaches all compilers, we will have native atomic support and things like this will finally be history. :)

To be honest, no, I did not define __GNUC__ but simply modified the atomic.hpp slightly so it would use that particular implementation because I saw no reason for it to not work or be dangerous in any way and I did not want to define __GNUC__ globally because I am not that familiar yet with sunCC to grasp all repercussion it might have. So i opted for the former solution.

Am I right with my assumption that for unsupported systems, no patches or anything alike are provided? Meaning in this case, if this bug gets fixed, I will have to wait for an eventual Studio 12.4 because the Express line seems to be discontinued. :( Which brings me to my next questions: Is there any chance this gets fixed anytime soon(ish)?

Thanks for your swift response.

So long

Yes, thats true.
Nowadays we do patches only through the official support channels... :-\

The only chance for you (unless you dont have an official support contract) to get over it is to modify this gnu-asm a bit so UBE does not choke over it.
I will ask UBE team for an exact workaround.

Pity, really. That pretty much disqualifies the use of this compiler for several use cases.

Thanks.

Just one more quick question: There are no more releases for the Express edition? And the standard Oracle Solaris Studio is released more like annually? That means, a serious bug which has a patch available through the official support channels, can keep you biting for 12 months in the worst case?

So long

The Express releases are Beta versions. The Express and official releases of Studio are free for download and use.

Once the official release has occurred, Oracle policy, unlike the former Sun policy, is to provide patches for that release only via a support contract. So, yes, since Studio 12.3 has been officially released, if you run into a bug, your choices are to work around the bug, get a service contract, or wait until the next release.
