Entertain them? Anyways, removing nested functions is not something I want to do. But we could have a case to case look if it would be possible to not use local variables without making the code obscure. I assume we can find all of the locations by having a look at some errors or warnings, perhaps those from the compile log that was sent in. But I still prefer having a sane solution to make it work. The apple specific case won't be fixed this way. But I can not help that apple disabled this feature while it doesn't even rely on an executable stack in all cases. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
