Hello, First I want to thank everyone involved in the project for their efforts in bringing MacRuby to us. I love being able to use GCD with ruby! I have been on vacation for a week and finally feel like touching a computer again so I thought I would look into doing some MacRuby development.
Since I have no experience with llvm and almost none with ObjectiveC, I decided to pick a low-priority, narrow focus bug to look into. That should allow me to get used to the environment without going too far into the weeds. I pretty much randomly chose #502 Marshalling large integers returns wrong value. I have downloaded and built both llvm and the latest code from the git mirror. I have been trying to reproduce the problem with macirb under gdb. I have some experience with gdb but I am getting confused trying to set a breakpoint in the Marshal package load function. It looks like MacRuby is bypassing the globally visible function rb_marshal_load and using rb_objc_define_method to export a pointer to the file local function marshal_load. The basics of the question is, how do I set a breakpoint in gdb for this function? Is this problem a result of using llvm? Will I end up needing to set a generic breakpoint in a dispatch routine with a condition looking for the selector for the load function? Thank you in advance for any help!
