Re: Problems on Itanium: Found the Cause, What's Next?


Hi, Corinna Vinschen, you wrote

That's a good question.  I'd translate this as "we have tested it
and verified that the problem exists", but I wouldn't bet on this.
After all I'm also not a native speaker.

Yes, it seems you got them right. Today I've received the following message:


BEGIN OF MSG
Hello Alexei,
They reproduced the problem and a bug report was filed on the issue.
Thanks,

So it is really very broken... :-( Today I've modified wincap.cc so that it uses GetNativeSystemInfo instead of IsWow64Process for determining environment details so that I can set has_working_copy_on_write to false only for Itanium-based machines (not for x86_64). Will you apply the patch if I provide it?

With best regards, Alex Alexandrov. E-mail: alex1_alexandrov2@fromru3.com4 (remove numbers before e-mailing me)
