It's really nice to have the desk cluttered with 3 PCs. I ran
t/dynclass/pyint_1.imc parallel through gdb and tried to track down, why
it segfaults on OS X.

Eventually I found this:

$ grep -2 parents dynclasses/pynci.dump

linux/i386:

'class' => 'PyNCI',
'parents' => [
'NCI',
'PyFunc',

OS X:

'parents' => [
'PyFunc',
'NCI',

That's the reason, why a Sub is called, where there is none - PyNCI has
the wrong vtable entry for invoke.

I'd be glad if some folks could have a look at the PMC compiler
classes/pmc2c2.pl and lib/Parrot/Pmc2c.pm. Something seems to be fishy
somewhere.

Thanks,
leo

I was hoping to get a look at this today, but instead, got stuck here:

make: *** No rule to make target `blib/include/unicode/ucnv.h', needed by `src/string_primitives.o'. Stop.

I don't remember seeing this before. How is anyone getting past this?
Hmm. Looking further, it looks as if the Makefile has decided not to
build icu/ at all. Odd. Does anyone know if this is an intended
side-effect of Dan's string work?

If no-one beats me to it, I'll look into the broken dependency on Monday,
and then maybe on Tuesday I'll be able to look at the dynaclass/pyint core
dump some more.

After make cvsclean; per Configure.pl; ... I got the correct parents
ordering. Seems that the parents somewhere go through a hash which then
produces either ordering.

This was fixed by Bernhard yesterday.

Fixed. Old code that assumed there's just one flag so a hash was used.

Thanks. I must have missed his fix by just a few hours. I'll check today
that the dynaclasses/py* are working for me.
