Just had a look at the following test failures on Windows.
t\pmc\nci.t 2 512 56 2 3.57% 3 46
I have added the test output below. It may not look that way at first
sight, but the failures are a result of missing exported symbols in
libnci_test.dll (which remembers me of my proposal of tagging the
symbols directly in the source and create the .def by grepping for
them).
Anyway, I'd like to ask for some help, as I am not (yet) up to speed
with parrot's internals. The following sample is a simplified version
of t/pmc/nci.t #3, and prints "-83.000000". Shouldn't things
blow up, instead of printing the value?
-snip-
.include "datatypes.pasm"
.sub test @MAIN
# address of nci_dlvar_float
.local pmc nci_dlvar_float
# returns undef on missing symbol
#nci_dlvar_float = dlvar libnci_test, "nci_dlvar_float"
new nci_dlvar_float, .Undef
# the contained structure pointer
.local pmc nci_dlvar_float_decl
nci_dlvar_float_decl = new ResizablePMCArray
push nci_dlvar_float_decl, .DATATYPE_FLOAT
push nci_dlvar_float_decl, 0
push nci_dlvar_float_decl, 0
assign nci_dlvar_float, nci_dlvar_float_decl
N2 = nci_dlvar_float[0]
print N2
print "\n"
end
.end
