JIT/NCI

[bsdz]

Hi,

Has anyone got any pointers on whether JIT NCI is supported on Linux
and Windows? I'm still updating my call_list and recompiling Parrot if
I need to call an external function with a new signature. Perhaps this
was fixed in 1.0 - I'm not sure.

Thanks

As of a couple days before 1.0, JIT NCI was still broken, at least on
Linux/x86. More precisely, it *partially* works; tests pass, but some
real programs (such as the OpenGL examples) don't produce correct
output. I still recommend configuring with --jitcapable=0.
