PObj_bufstart_external_FLAG
I hunted for this a bit lastnight, so I'm posting my progress.
The source lines in question are:
461 /* the real external flag */
462>> if (PObj_bufstart_external_TEST(b)) <<
463 PObj_external_SET(b);
PObj_bufstart_external_FLAG used to be defined in
include/parrot/pobj.h, but it was removed in svn r10582:
[...]
Strange that r10582 removed the flag itself, but not the accessors
(PObj_bufstart_external_TEST and PObj_bufstart_external_SET).
And, on to the next step: Whether you remove the check for
PObj_bufstart_external_TEST(b), or readd the PObj_bufstart_external_FLAG
(as 1 << 31, since that's the next available flag), that error
disappears, to be replaced with an error in src/gc/res_lea.c that
Parrot_reallocate, Parrot_allocate, and Parrot_reallocate_string are
redeclared with conflicting types, and that Parrot_allocate_zeroed is
never prototyped, and STRING_ALIGNMENT is undeclared.
Looks to me like we've got a few incomplete refactors on our hands that
happen to live on rarely exercised code paths. (Automated multi-platform
smokes will help this.) I've started working on src/gc/res_lea.c, after
removing the check for the no-longer-used flag.
