Hmm, yes, this changed a little. Is mentioned in the @doc/diff file. It is very useful for atomic result specifications, i.e. to dereference a pointer for any kind of pointed type: : (setq P (%@ "malloc" 'N 32)) -> 537873387608 : (struct P 'N -7 -4) # Store 2 int's, return value as a long -> 17179869191 # hex "400000007" : (struct P 'I) # Fetch first int -> 7 : (struct (+ 4 P) 'I) # Fetch second int -> 4 > With this change misc/rcsim.l no longer runs (I’ve learned it the hard way). Oops, haven't looked at rcsim since pil21 :( > I would like to ask, that this was intentional ? Yes, it is a lot more useful, used heavily in e.g. in @lib/net.l. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
