    RELEASE NOTES

    1. Patch SG0002312 Release Note

           This release note describes patch SG0002312 to IRIX 6.2.
    
    
    1.1 Supported Hardware Platforms
           This patch contains bug fixes for all platforms.  The
           software cannot be installed on other configurations.
    
    
    1.2 Supported Software Platforms
           This patch contains the following bug fixes for the O32, N32
           and 64-bit Fortran 77 runtime libraries.  The patch is made
           to install on a system running irix 6.2 with MIPSpro 6.2 or
           7.1 compilers (or no compilers at all).  The software cannot
           be installed on other configurations.
    
    
    1.3 Bugs Fixed by Patch SG0002312
    
    1.3.1 Bugs Fixed in the O32 version of libftn.so 
           This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in the O32
           version of the Fortran 77 runtime library for IRIX 6.2. Bug
           numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are
           included for reference.
    
              o MAIN__ in libftn.so was defined as a strong symbol.
                This would cause C or C++ programs linking with
                libftn.so to get an rld error of the type:
    
                26315:./a.out: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in /usr/lib/libftn.so: MAIN__
    
                if the programs required that LD_BIND_NOW be set. This
                has been fixed (BUG ID #497568).
    
    
    1.3.2 Bugs Fixed in the N32 and 64-bit versions of
           libftn.so
    
           This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in the N32
           and 64-bit Fortran 77 runtime libraries for IRIX 6.2. Bug
           numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are
           included for reference.
    
              o Problems involving complex divide and complex
                exponentiation in IRIX 6.2 (BUG ID's #367216, #382526).
    
              o MAIN__ in libftn.so was defined as a strong symbol.
                This would cause C or C++ programs linking with
                libftn.so to get an rld error of the type:
    
    
                26315:./a.out: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in /usr/lib/libftn.so: MAIN__
    
                if the programs required that LD_BIND_NOW be set. This
                has been fixed (BUG ID #497568).
    
              o Programs that used variable format statements would
                core dump.  For example the following program would
                produce a segmentation violation when compiled -n32 or
                -64:
    
                      program main
                      k = ival('hell')
                      print *, k
                      stop
                      end
    
                      INTEGER*4 FUNCTION IVAL(str)
                      CHARACTER*(*) str
                      CALL STRFIX(str,I1,K)
                      read(str(1:k),1000,ERR=30) IVAL
                 1000 FORMAT (i&ltK>)
                 30   continue
                      RETURN
                      END
    
                      SUBROUTINE STRFIX(STR,I1,I2)
                      CHARACTER*(*) STR
                      i1 = 1
                      i2 = 4
                      RETURN
                      END
    
                This has been fixed (BUG ID #385188).
    
    
    1.4 Subsystems Included in Patch SG0002312
           This patch replaces patch 1378 and patch 1630.  It is
           incompatible with patch 2016 or 2483 which require MIPSpro
           7.2 compilers.
    
           This patch release includes these subsystems:
    
              o patchSG0002312.ftn77_eoe.lib
    
              o patchSG0002312.ftn_eoe_sw64.lib
    
              o patchSG0002312.ftn77_eoe.sw32.lib
    
    
    
    1.5 Installation Instructions
           Because you want to install only the patches for problems
           you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
           default.  After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
           in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
           meet your specific needs.
    
           If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
           notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
           meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
           inst.  The inst program does not allow you to install
           patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
           software.
    
           Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
           software product.  Follow the instructions in your Software
           Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot
           form of the software installation tools.
    
           Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:
    
             1.  At the Inst> prompt, type
    
                 install patchSGxxxxxxx
    
                 where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
    
             2.  Initiate the installation sequence. Type
    
                 Inst> go
    
             3.  You may find that two patches have been marked as
                 incompatible.  (The installation tools reject an
                 installation request if an incompatibility is
                 detected.)  If this occurs, you must deselect one of
                 the patches.
    
                 Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx
    
                 where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
    
             4.  After completing the installation process, exit the
                 inst program by typing
    
                 Inst> quit
    
    
    
    1.6 Patch Removal Instructions
           To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you
           would for any other software subsystem.  The removal process
           reinstates the original version of software unless you have
           specifically removed the patch history from your system.
    
           versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx
    
           where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
    
           To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
           versions removehist command to remove the patch history.
    
           versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx
    
           where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

    INST SUBSYSTEM CHECKSUMS

    These checksums help to provide a 'signature' for the patch inst image which can be used to authenticate other inst images. You can obtain this kind of output by running sum -r on the image (from the command line):
