I'll admit to being a shy lurker... (and have rudimentary C knowledge, but a bit low on the elbow grease atm :-/) This also gives me an opportunity to mention to anyone with more time (and possibly ability) than me, that parrot is having problems on LinuxPPC. The specifics are: - parrot hangs on t/op/arithmetics when doing make test - make gives an implicit declaration of posix_memalign, but doesn't seem to have problems beyond this - a lot of warnings about implicitly truncating to unsigned type - a lot of warnings about discarding qualifiers (I don't know how much people worry about these kinds of things, but I found with the software I'm working on atm, that implicity truncation to unsigned was a problem found only on LinuxPPC, but not on LinuxX86, something to do with differences between the gcc's) Here's some more info that may help. $ uname -a Linux 2.4.19-r6 #7 Tue Apr 22 16:54:53 EST 2003 ppc 740/750 GNU/Linux $ gcc --version 2.95.3 $ perl --version This is perl, v5.8.0 built for powerpc-linux I hope any of this helps, and if it's possible for me to contribute, even some reasonably trivial task (something possibly like what Melvin mentioned earlier in the week re: macros) would be ok. I'm really impressed with the amount of work people are doing on parrot and related stuff. Keep up the good work! :-) Later Paul -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Physics University of Queensland St Lucia Brisbane Queensland 4072 Australia Quantum Mechanics: the dreams stuff is made of.
