How to submit a testcase
This document assumes that you are working with your AIX support representative
under one of the service options. This document applies to all versions of AIX.
Please include the following
in a testcase for a compiler or languages problem:
- ALL source code
- Header files
- Any source code used to create a library
- Any make files
- Any source code files
- All other files used to compile the program
- A README that explains:
- What you think is the problem
- Compilation instructions. Step-by-step instructions that
can be entered at the command line to create the program
that illustrates the problem
- How the problem manifests itself.
What error codes, values, messages, and so on
we can expect to see to show the error has occurred
- What the expected behavior is (what the program should do)
- The level of your compiler:
To determine the level of your compiler (AIX Version 4.x.x), enter the
following commands:
lslpp -h "xlf???" | pg # Fortran
lslpp -h "xlC.*" | pg # C or C++ v3.1.x.x
lslpp -h "xlp*.obj" | pg # PASCAL
lslpp -h "cobol.*" | pg # IBM COBOL SET for AIX
lslpp -h "vac.*" | pg # C for AIX v4.3 or v4.4
lslpp -h "vacpp.*" | pg # VisualAge C++ v4.x.x.x
lslpp -h "ibmcxx.*" | pg # IBM C and C++ Compilers v3.6.x.x
