The attached patch brings things if not to perfection at least quite close.
Great. Thanks for your time having a look at that. Applied. Works - i386 can successfully process all these PBCs.
I have tested the patch and the included pbc files in:
- little-endian 64-bit tru64 - little-endian 32-bit linux - big-endian 32-bit solaris - big-endian 64-bit irix
Thanks for these.
The packfile.c.pat and pf_items.c.pat address the byteswapping, the dod.c patch was
needed in irix only (dbx showed the pool->mem_pool being zero, I don't know whether
there's something deeper that my patch hides, but I was not about to start debugging DOD--
There must be some other problem.
the bytecode executed fine but then parrot crashed in cleanup/teardown phase).
If mem_pool was NULL there is something strange goin on.
I suggest that the existing
t/native_pbc/*.pbc are deleted and the *.pbc from the attachment are taken instead,
they have slightly more informative naming scheme.
While that's true it doesn't work with the test system which assumes consecutive test file numbers.
