This doesn't make any sense to me. Why shouldn't these keywords work without protocols? After updating -base with this fix, just about every single GNUstep program now dumps core (at start, or very soon after starting). After digging around a bit, it turns out that -base is now incompatible with gcc <3.3, and I'm using 3.2. Although I can understand that supporting broken compilers can be difficult or impossible, suddenly requiring 3.3 without any discussion or warning doesn't seem very nice. (Also, there seem to be other causes; I've heard of crashes with gcc 3.3 as well in #GNUstep.) - Alexander Malmberg _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
