Does Berkeley DB use floating point registers?
Yes, there are a few places in Berkeley DB where floating point computations are performed. As a result, all applications that call taskSpawn should specify the VX_FP_TASK option. • Can I run the test suite under VxWorks? The test suite requires the Berkeley DB Tcl library. In turn, this library requires Tcl 8.1 or greater. In order to run the test suite, you would need to port Tcl 8.1 or greater to VxWorks. The Tcl shell included in windsh is not adequate for two reasons. First, it is based on Tcl 8.0. Second, it does not include the necessary Tcl components for adding a Tcl extension. • Are all Berkeley DB features available for VxWorks? All Berkeley DB features are available for VxWorks with the exception of the DB_TRUNCATE flag for DB->open. The underlying mechanism needed for that flag is not available consistently across different file systems for VxWorks. • Are there any constraints using particular filesystem drivers? There are constraints using the dosFs filesystems with Berke
