14.2 HP-UX dependencies
14.2.1 Linker Dependencies
Several features available in WDB depend on specific versions of the linker or the
compiler.
• Linker patch required for +objdebug
For releases prior to HP-UX 11i v2 (for IA) and HP-UX 11i v1 (for PA-RISC), you
must install the latest linker patch to generate object modules that enable faster
linking and smaller executable file sizes for large applications. See your compiler
release notes for more details.
• Support for debugging incrementally linked 64-bit programs
This feature requires linker version B.11.18 or later on HP-UX 11i v1.
• Support to automatically preload librtc.sl with chatr +mem_check option.
This feature requires linker version B.11.61 and later on HP 9000 systems, and
linker version B.12.46 and later on Integrity systems. +mem_check option is used
only for memory debugging.
• Support to automatically preload librtc.sl with chatr +rtc option.
This feature requires linker version B.11.66 and later on HP 9000 systems, and
linker version B.12.51 and later on Integrity systems. However, +mem_check
option is retained with the latest Linker version.
