Dear community!

In the Machine Notes for my Installation is noted that:

1.  This product was built on AIX 7.2 Technology using the following
    compilers:

    IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V16.1.0  (5725-C72, 5765-J12)
    XL C/C++ Runtime      16.1.0.10

That is quite ok for me, but when it comes to the point to use the esql command I am failing on the specific issue that we need to proceed to the V17 compiler generation which is installed on the machine. esql assumes, the compiler to be named xlclang by default. This can be overridden by defining $INFORMIXC in the environment. But still I need to modify the installed esql-script, as they imply fixed compiler flags:

CC="${INFORMIXC=xlclang} -qchars=signed -m64 -qcheck=nullptr -qmaxmem=-1 -qspill=2000"

In the V17 compiler generation the compiler is named by one of these entry-names:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system          442 Oct 18 2023  ibm-clang
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system          488 Oct 18 2023  ibm-clang++_r
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system          460 Oct 18 2023  ibm-clang-cpp
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system          468 Oct 18 2023  ibm-clang_r

But none of these is supporting the legacy options named by -q. We may modify this to "-fsigned-char -m64 -fsanitize=nullability" (hopefully it's really the same) but for the spillsize i did not find a viable equivalent.

On the other hand the 13.1.3 compiler can't manage the -m64 option which requires to be modifed to -q64

I do not want to change the esql command, but I see no other options for now. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hi,

I would open a support case.

Hi,

Go back to the AIX compiler people at tell them to not break people's compile scripts!

If they want to change the name of the compiler binary and flags then they should make that a new product and not break compatability in v17.

I would move to gcc, it is free and I have not had compatability issues with it!

Regards,
David.
