Hi, Sorry for the delayed response - I was at a workshop last week and was a bit behind on email.

This is a bug in libobjc2, which I have now fixed. I forgot that objc_slot was part of the public API and so renamed it to objc_slot_v1, which then broke things. I have now reverted its name to objc_slot and introduced a new objc_slot2, which fixes the issue. > I powered on the laptop during my vacation, took a quick look, and told him > to git checkout 1.9.

On a related note, I have had no feedback at all from requests to test the 1.9 and master branches in preparation for the 1.9 and 2.0 releases. > Presumably -base newabi branch is not ready to be merged yet — but should > libobjc2’s master branch be using the new abi then? I have some other changes in the -base newabi branch. It’s probably fine to merge the changes so support the support for the new NSConstantString parts, but unfortunately the new constant string exposes some bugs in -base’s unicode handling (in particular, incompatibilities with NSString and GSString), which are probably exposed by other NSString subclasses. > I think that’s fine, apart from breaking scripts that build GS from head. > Travis CI is also erroring out: > https://travis-ci.org/gnustep/libs-base The -base Travis script should be building libobjc2 without tests. The libobjc2 Travis script builds it with tests and runs them.
