Features not supported on BG/L


  • Replace timer calls:
    • use rts_get_timebase() from librts.a, divide by 700 MHz

  • No fork() - compiles OK but generates run-time error ...
    • and no associated syscalls: getppid90, wait(), waitpid()

  • No system() calls

  • No getrlimit(), getrusage(), ...

  • No mmap90 or shared memory

  • No IP address, e.g. gethostbyname()

  • Socket client calls work, e.g. socket(), connect(),
    but server stuff doesn't, e.g. bind(), accept()
