Yes, the current version of "gcc.l" will not work any longer :-( It is possible to design a similar mechanism, writing inline assembly instead of C, and calling 'as' instead of 'gcc'. But I'm not sure if this is the right way to go. In any case, I have a concept of a generic call to C functions in arbitrary external libraries. And I'm sure we will have plenty of other ideas when time comes ;-) > How is a new assembler based version of Picolisp going to affect 32 > bit platforms.

I can probably not switch all my customers to another version anyway. Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
