NAME
README.aix - Perl version 5 on IBM Unix (AIX) systems
DESCRIPTION
This document describes various features of IBM's Unix operating system (AIX) that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is
compiled and/or runs.
Compiling Perl 5 on AIX
When compiling Perl, you must use an ANSI C compiler. AIX does not ship an ANSI compliant C-compiler with AIX by default, but binary builds
of gcc for AIX are widely available.
At the moment of writing, AIX supports two different native C compilers, for which you have to pay: xlC and vac. If you decide to use
either of these two (which is quite a lot easier than using gcc), be sure to upgrade to the latest available patch level. Currently:
xlC.C 3.1.4.10 or 3.6.6.0 or 4.0.2.2 or 5.0.2.9 or 6.0.0.3
vac.C 4.4.0.3 or 5.0.2.6 or 6.0.0.1
note that xlC has the OS version in the name as of version 4.0.2.0, so you will find xlC.C for AIX-5.0 as package
xlC.aix50.rte 5.0.2.0 or 6.0.0.3
subversions are not the same `latest' on all OS versions. For example, the latest xlC-5 on aix41 is 5.0.2.9, while on aix43, it is 5.0.2.7.
Perl can be compiled with either IBM's ANSI C compiler or with gcc. The former is recommended, as not only can it compile Perl with no
difficulty, but also can take advantage of features listed later that require the use of IBM compiler-specific command-line flags.
The IBM's compiler patch levels 5.0.0.0 and 5.0.1.0 have compiler optimization bugs that affect compiling perl.c and regcomp.c, respec-
tively. If Perl's configuration detects those compiler patch levels, optimization is turned off for the said source code files. Upgrading
to at least 5.0.2.0 is recommended.
If you decide to use gcc, make sure your installation is recent and complete, and be sure to read the Perl README file for more gcc-spe-
cific details. Please report any hoops you had to jump through to the development team.
OS level
Before installing the patches to the IBM C-compiler you need to know the level of patching for the Operating System. IBM's command
'oslevel' will show the base, but is not always complete (in this example oslevel shows 4.3.NULL, whereas the system might run most of
4.3.THREE):
# oslevel
4.3.0.0
# lslpp -l | grep 'bos.rte '
bos.rte 4.3.3.75 COMMITTED Base Operating System Runtime
bos.rte 4.3.2.0 COMMITTED Base Operating System Runtime
#
The same might happen to AIX 5.1 or other OS levels. As a side note, perl cannot be built without bos.adt.syscalls and bos.adt.libm
installed
# lslpp -l | egrep "syscalls|libm"
bos.adt.libm 5.1.0.25 COMMITTED Base Application Development
bos.adt.syscalls 5.1.0.36 COMMITTED System Calls Application
#
Building Dynamic Extensions on AIX
AIX supports dynamically loadable objects as well as shared libraries. Shared libraries by convention end with the suffix .a, which is a
bit misleading, as an archive can contain static as well as dynamic members. For perl dynamically loaded objects we use the .so suffix
also used on many other platforms.
Note that starting from Perl 5.7.2 (and consequently 5.8.0) and AIX 4.3 or newer Perl uses the AIX native dynamic loading interface in the
so called runtime linking mode instead of the emulated interface that was used in Perl releases 5.6.1 and earlier or, for AIX releases 4.2
and earlier. This change does break backward compatibility with compiled modules from earlier perl releases. The change was made to make
Perl more compliant with other applications like Apache/mod_perl which are using the AIX native interface. This change also enables the use
of C++ code with static constructors and destructors in perl extensions, which was not possible using the emulated interface.
The IBM ANSI C Compiler
All defaults for Configure can be used.
If you've chosen to use vac 4, be sure to run 4.4.0.3. Older versions will turn up nasty later on. For vac 5 be sure to run at least
5.0.1.0, but vac 5.0.2.6 or up is highly recommended. Note that since IBM has removed vac 5.0.2.1 through 5.0.2.5 from the software depot,
these versions should be considered obsolete.
Here's a brief lead of how to upgrade the compiler to the latest level. Of course this is subject to changes. You can only upgrade ver-
sions from ftp-available updates if the first three digit groups are the same (in where you can skip intermediate unlike the patches in the
developer snapshots of perl), or to one version up where the `base' is available. In other words, the AIX compiler patches are cumulative.
vac.C.4.4.0.1 => vac.C.4.4.0.3 is OK (vac.C.4.4.0.2 not needed)
xlC.C.3.1.3.3 => xlC.C.3.1.4.10 is NOT OK (xlC.C.3.1.4.0 is not available)

Using GNU's gcc for building perl
Using gcc-3.x (tested with 3.0.4, 3.1, and 3.2) now works out of the box, as do recent gcc-2.9 builds available directly from IBM as part
of their Linux compatibility packages, available here:

Using Large Files with Perl
Should yield no problems.
Threaded Perl
Threads seem to work OK, though at the moment not all tests pass when threads are used in combination with 64bit configurations.
64-bit Perl
If your AIX is installed with 64-bit support, you can expect 64bit configurations to work. In combination with threads some tests might
still fail.
AIX 4.2 and extensions using C++ with statics
In AIX 4.2 Perl extensions that use C++ functions that use statics may have problems in that the statics are not getting initialized. In
newer AIX releases this has been solved by linking Perl with the libC_r library, but unfortunately in AIX 4.2 the said library has an
obscure bug where the various functions related to time (such as time() and gettimeofday()) return broken values, and therefore in AIX 4.2
Perl is not linked against the libC_r.
