I did a quick test. nsrange.st in Compiler/examples/ does work now, but mult.st failed (segment fault). So I run the script in SmallkitTests/ and three tests failed: ------------------------------------------------------ Test: TestPrototypes Aborted -e TestPrototypes: FAIL (crash) ------------------------------------------------------ Test: TestJustAnInteger Segmentation fault -e TestJustAnInteger: FAIL (crash) ------------------------------------------------------ Test: TestBlockReturn Segmentation fault -e TestBlockReturn: FAIL (crash) llvm is updated last December after 2.4 release and Etoile is the latest.
