The Chiphopper offering has expanded access to its tools to include customers and non-participating ISVs. These tools can help maintain single source for C and C++ code on mutiple Linux platforms. They can be useful to run prior to doing a port to a new IBM system running Linux, or during a consolidation exercise onto a larger Linux system.The tools come from two sources -- the Linux Foundation as part of Linux Standard Base (LSB) certification for applications, and also from the IBM Chiphopper team. The LSB tools check for use of standard APIs, and the Chiphopper tool checks for coding to differences in hardware platforms that could cause portability problems. This forum is designed to help people using these tools exchange information about the tools and interpreting their output to achieve more efficient Linux portability.
