Just to let you know: after several of you reported programs that would run under unicon -C but only if the -fs option
was used, I went ahead and asked Ken Walker if there was any reason not to turn -fs on all the time, other than the
slightly larger code size it would entail. He indicated that actually using string invocation (the feature -fs was
written to support) reduces the effectiveness of type inferencing, but that leaving -fs on was fine if we don't mind the
code size.
So, I turned on -fs automatically if -C is used in unicon, in our svn repository. It allows a number of Unicon programs
to compile or run correctly that otherwise do not. But, if you encounter any problems due to it, I want to hear about
them and could change the default back if it has any really bad side effects. If you are using a binary distribution or
building from a .zip this change won't affect you for now.
Is there a command line option to turn it off if we want to experiment?
Thanks,
Steve
