For what its worth ( and I realize you, Issac did not make these statements ). ffcall works fine on 64-bit, and ffi has never made it through connecting to a server on TalkSoup. I'm fairly certain there is some sort of bug in the FFI stuff in GNUstep, but I've never been able to track it down as it leaves the stack completely destroyed. (TalkSoup fires off at least 5-10 invocations per IRC event). But I suppose its possible that its just a bug in TalkSoup ( valgrind certainly shows nothing on ffcall, and ffi has pretty reliably crashed TalkSoup for years )... - Andy -- Andrew Ruder http://www.aeruder.net _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
