I believe that heap dumping is supposed to interoperate "correctly" with the FFI. (You probably could not ship such heaps to other clients, but I think they should be fine for personal use.) There are certainly artifacts of support for such interoperability floating around in the source code, and I'm pretty sure that a prior incarnation of the Larceny development team did experiments to confirm that Sparc native Larceny supported heap dumping interoperation with the FFI. So I would be curious to know if you encountered bugs yourself; it could very well be that there are bugs for such interoperation on Intel native Larceny. -Felix _______________________________________________ Larceny-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/larceny-users
