Pil32 and miniPicoLisp are written in C, and C does not support calling other functions in a generic way. This is one of the reasons pil64 was written in assembly (in addition to stack control and CPU status bits). > I just wanted to make sure that there is no > "impossibility" about attempting to port the native/lisp functions to > miniPicoLisp. Meanwhile there *is* a way: libffi - which takes care of that low level stuff. I use it now in pil21 (only a proof of concept so far, I hope it is indeed portable enough). > A quick question on gen3m.c - I noticed an unused parameter '*mem' in mkSym > - is there a reason to let it remain? Right, it seems to be replaced in the function by always "(Rom+%d)", so it is indeed not needed. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
