Hi all. I''m looking for as complete a picture as I can find of what gcc versions are "known good" to use to build lustre, and what that picture is likely to look like over the next year or so. I''ve got a family of deployments in the works, and need to be able to plan what toolchain(s) I have the option of using. Reviewing past email, it looks like 3.3 is "good", and 3.4 is dubious, though I have had some success with it. 4.x is targetted, but not working yet. Is that about right? TIA...
Hi The gcc4 problem will be tackled during the coming months. We hope, of course, to increase our agility and keep up a little better. - Peter - > -----Original Message----- > From: lustre-discuss-bounces@clusterfs.com > [mailto:lustre-discuss-bounces@clusterfs.com] On Behalf Of > jrd@jrd.org > Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 8:39 AM > To: lustre-discuss@clusterfs.com > Subject: [Lustre-discuss] GCC version(s) > > Hi all.

Hi
The gcc4 problem will be tackled during the coming months. We hope, of
course, to increase our agility and keep up a little better.
That''s good to hear.
What exactly is the problem with gcc4? It won''t compile? Wierd errors
at
runtime? Something else?
It looks like it consumes more stack than the gcc3 family, and we have seen crashes due to that. We are not 100% sure about this, but this is what we are guessing at the moment. - Peter - > -----Original Message----- > From: jrd@jrd.org [mailto:jrd@jrd.org] > Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 9:12 AM > To: Peter J.
