Re: PRO*C in oracle 8i and RH6.1

Yes, but there are several bugs. I don't know which bugs have been fixed in the patch. (I haven't downloaded the patch, but when we load a system, I download the physical fixes.)

Bug 1: In each C file generated from the PC file, a static const unsigned int sqlctx = 1 is generated. The 1 is supposed to be hashed based upon the filename.

Bug 2: One of the PROC message files is missed in the 8.1.5.0.0 installation. pcpus.msb and msg need to be placed in the ~ORACLE_HOME/precomp/mesg directory.

There is also some fun with your proc default options. Bug #2 might fix the problem, but maybe not. If you include various system includes before the Oracle version of them, the precompiler core dumps. If you want, e-mail me and I will mail you the pcscfg.cfg file that Oracle recommended. (You will need to change the ORACLE_HOME in the file.)

I also have the library path. For some reason Oracle wants to include 3 pages of libraries at link time. I have it down to under two lines.

P.S. Bug #1 only causes problems if you have something with multiple PC files linked together where functions from different files will run quick enough together to cause Oracle errors.
