Build fails on OSX 10.6.4
Jon
never seen a language like it before. I cloned the repo and fired up
make and then I hit this road block
Building main executable...
src/types.cpp: In member function ‘TypeStatus::operator uintptr_t()
const’:
src/types.cpp:1514: error: cast from ‘Type*’ to ‘unsigned int’ loses
precision
make: *** [anic] Error 1
my gcc version is i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1
I poked at the wiki and the list archive but couldn't find any mac
specific instructions. I poked at the repo and failed to find any mac
branches/ tags. I reverted a couple of times and tried to recompile.
I then gave up and switched to debian were the project complies just
fine and dandy. I wiped up a hello world.
"Hello, World" ->std.out
Then I ran ./anic helloworld.txt -o a.out -v
Which compiles according to the compiler output but when I run a.out I
don't get any ouput. And so I am a little stuck... Anyways keep up the
good work I look forward to following this project.

This seems to be an OS X specific problem as it compiles fine on Linux
and Windows. I don't know if Adrian has tried testing it on OS X at
all yet. I haven't anyway.
The problem is this line of code:
TypeStatus::operator uintptr_t() const {return (unsigned int)type;}
type's datatype is Type*, it appears that it won't let you cast a
pointer to an unisnged int. My guess is because OS X is 64bit and
everyone else has only used 32bit systems? Casting a 64bit pointer to
a 32bit unsigned int would indeed "lose precision". Maybe you can tell
your compiler to not treat warnings as errors? Alternatively you could
try casting to a 'unsigned long long' or something like that instead.

As far as I know, no effort has yet been made to compile under mac.

As has been mentioned on the list a number of times already, this is
very much the expected behaviour right now. The compiler is still an
(early) work in progress and code generation is not yet implemented,
so the output file will be empty. I was supposed to implement basic
codegen a few months ago, but other work kinda took over my life for a
while. Since Adrian is really quiet at the moment, I suspect hes in a
similar situation.
I will certainly let the list know when I finally get around to
finishing the codegen stuff I started in the summer, but I can't
commit to any specific "release date" right now. Of course, if someone
else wanted to tackle it... ;-)

But the anic binary on my OS X 10.6 generates empty output files. It's
like this:
$ cat a.ani
"Hello, World!" ->std.out
$ ./anic a.ani
$ ls -l a.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 tianyi wheel 0 2010-11-14 06:25 a.out
The size of a.out is 0. I'm not sure why. I tried build it both 32-bit
and 64-bit and the outputs are the same.
The output of ./anic -v a.ani is:
anic: verbose output enabled.
anic: lexing file 'a.ani'....

This is expected. See my previous email.

is generally what `uintptr_t` is typedef'd to on an architecture using
32-bit pointers. 64-bit Mac OS X is an LP-64 architecture, which means
both `long` and pointers are 64-bit values. The fix for all
architectures is to change the cast from `(unsigned int)` to
`(uintptr_t)`, as in this patch:
