Known Problems and Workarounds

This section describes known problems and workarounds in the HP DCE version 1.8 Application Development Tools for HP-UX 11i.

DCE-Core Tools

As of DCE 1.6, the DCE_SVC_DEBUG macro was changed to acquire a SVC mutex lock (in prior releases this was done in the serviceability library). Because of this, DCE applications based on DCE 1.5 and earlier releases that make use of this macro will be binary incompatible with DCE 1.6 applications and so must be recompiled under DCE 1.6 on HP-UX 10.30.

DCE-C-Tools

There are no problems in HP DCE-C-Tools discovered at HP DCE 1.5, 1.7, or 1.8.
