Then why did we need a separate "use English" pragma? :)

Let's not forget that the CS meaning of "hash" didn't spring forth
fully-formed from the skull of Donald Knuth or anything. A "hash
function" is so called because it "makes a hash of" the inputs. That
is, its output, while deterministic, is at first glance a random
rearrangement of the inputs. H

Hello,
I have two pmc classes PjsNumber and PjsBoolean, which define
bitwise_and like this:
PMC* bitwise_and(PMC* value, PMC* dest) {
FLOATVAL a, b;
if (! dest) {
dest = pmc_new(INTERP, dynpmc_PjsNumber);
} else if (dest->vtable->base_type != dynpmc_PjsNumber)

I think this patch fixes the visibility problem with Linux and GCC versions
before 4.0. I think it also enables symbol hiding on other platforms with
GCC.

Are those C89 attributes? Do they break other compilers?

It seems to work in general, but in some cases (especially when I
allocate too much memory) it causes me a segfault
or an error like: Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
It was caused by some unitialized memory in src/mmd.c. rt #43105 solves it.

They're stolen from p5, and they're macros that go away if you don't

That comes from the French haché, meaning chopped. Best with lots of
small pieces of beef in it as well.
