Hi,

        I've been using gcc 2.7.2.1 on my Solaris
        2.5.1 operating system for some time
        now with "purify" and I have had no problems.

        I downloaded and built gcc 2.95.2 on my
        Solaris 2.5.1 system.  Now, when I try
        to compile my code with it and link
        it with "purify" I get warning messages
        (see below). Then when I try to run it,
        I get a core dump.  I tried to debug it
        with "gdb" but I get generally strange
        behavior  (like stepping through the code
        of a CASE statement incorrectly and
        incorrectly evaluating IF statements etc.).

        When I link I get the following:

    purify gcc sens_main.o sens_info.o sens_go.o taskPrimary.o taskModel.o
    gen_sensdata.o op_version.o GradTask.o

It is very unlikely that this release of Purify supports GCC 2.95.2.
I'm not sure Rational has already updated their product to support
newer releases of GCC, but this old release you've got certainly isn't
up to it.
