Marvin Humphrey commented on LUCY-211:
--------------------------------------
> I've been fighting for hours with random crashes under MSVC6.
Oof, sorry to hear about that. Final methods can be novel, eh? Of course
they can. :(
FWIW, that change may have the side effect of seeming to allow host overrides
of final methods. However, all those behaviors should be rationalized by this
change in the kill_clownfish_host branch:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucy.git;a=commitdiff;h=9b29e4bb
{noformat}
- if ((CFCMethod_public(method) || CFCMethod_abstract(method))
- && CFCMethod_novel(method)) {
+ if (CFCMethod_novel(method) && !CFCMethod_final(method)) {
{noformat}
I wonder if we want to make it a runtime error to create a subroutine in Perl
with the same name as a final Clownfish method.

> MSVC 6 is an old compiler, released in 1998, but some people still use
> it, particularly those motivated by the C runtime linking issue. It will
> be hard to maintain support without a smoker, but the Lucy mainline
> should be reasonably close to compatibility right now, so it's worth a
> try to see if we can build and pass tests.
