So this would appear to be a rather severe drawback as invocations
are used
quite extensively. Maybe the stack unwinding works if you used
libffi for
your invocations, but libffi doesn't work on some platforms (eg
the debian
64bit intel box I develop on).
libffi works on x86_64 as far as I know. Also libffi supports
unwinding as it is needed to support GCJ :).
I just updated by libff to the latest debian package (3.0.5-4) and
tried building gnustep-base with that ... it crashes when trying to
perform an invocation. Possibly a problem with the way libffi is
used ... but I don't know how to fix it.
It turns out that this was a problem with memory protection causing a
segmentation violation ... on my debian em64t system I got this to
work by allocating memory using mmap rather than malloc.
