Surely %r9 could be freed for general purposes. I don't remember if that would solve any problem. Why do you think of NIL especially? In fact, "normal" assembly already works well for position-independent code (e.g. the shared 'ht' and 'ext' libraries are always built that way). IIRC, there were nasty details with some core runtime code, but I don't want to dig into that again. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
