I reproduced this tonight. ''Configure.pl'' told me:
{{{
auto::sizes - Determine some sizes...
Hmm, I see your chosen INTVAL isn't the same size as your pointers.
Parrot should still compile and run, but you may see a ton of warnings.
............................done.
}}}
... and I did indeed get a ton of warnings. But then Parrot failed to
build:
{{{
./parrot -o runtime/parrot/library/PCT/HLLCompiler.pbc
compilers/pct/src/PCT/HLLCompiler.pir
/usr/local/bin/perl -e "" > compilers/pge/PGE/builtins_gen.pir
./parrot -o runtime/parrot/library/PGE.pbc compilers/pge/PGE.pir
./parrot runtime/parrot/library/PGE/Perl6Grammar.pir
--output=compilers/pge/PGE/builtins_gen.pir
compilers/pge/PGE/builtins.pg
make: *** [runtime/parrot/library/PGE.pbc] Segmentation fault
make: *** Deleting file `runtime/parrot/library/PGE.pbc'
Finished
}}}
(Of course, the build failure may have been due to the inappropriateness
of those command-line options for my box.)
So, would the proper course of action be to require that `sizeof(INTVAL)
== sizeof(void *)`?
Thank you very much.
