Hi Alex, I think I’ve found the explanation for the "constant size” error here, it’s about "clang": <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19416608/compilin-error-fields-must-have-a-constant-size-variable-length-array-in-stru> … and I can confirm the clang-link: $ ls -la /usr/bin/ ... lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Apr 8 11:47 cc -> clang ...
Can this be fixed in picoLisp/src/Makefile, or do I have to take care of the unlinking myself? /Jon On 9.

Can probably easily switched off. The C code is perfectly legal and exactly intended this way. main.c:711:34: error: fields must have a constant size: 'variable length ar= ray in structure' extension will never be supported struct {any sym; any val;} bnd[length(y)+2]; I don't know why Apple's development system has problems with this :( Variable length structures are part of the C language since eons. No way to fix this, because PicoLisp all over depends on such data structures. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
