Hi all,

The debugging diagnostic code in src/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/texnodes.c
(using the latest version luatex-beta-0.30.3 which has been marked as
"stable" in the Gentoo repository) fails to compile if the package is
being compiled as a release version (-DNDEBUG) rather than a debugging
version (no -DNDEBUG).

See

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263275

for a full description of the bug and a proposed patch.

However, the patch does nothing more than disable the #ifndef NDEBUG
sections locally for that source file.

And as I do not have any deeper understanding what those "varmem_sizes"
array is actually being used for, this might or might not be such a good
idea to do.

Therefore, I hereby humbly request whether you upstream guys might be
kindly willing to fix that problem in some forthcoming release, because
it is sort of annoying to manually have to interfere with the build
system each time this package is rebuilt on a source-based Distribution
like Gentoo.

Nevertheless, thanks for all the labour you already have spent on this
fine project and keep up the good work!

Greetings,

Guenther
