All~
So, lets do the classes as:
*) Array - fixed-size, mixed-type array
*) vPArray - variable-sized PMC array
*) PArray - Fixed-size PMC array
*) vSArray - variable-sized string array
*) SArray - fixed-size string array
I suggest using "Array" to mean fixed size and "Vector" to mean variable

Hi all,
I'm hoping this is just a simple linker option, but
I've been reading "ld" manuals for the past few
hours and I just don't get it. :)
I'm trying to make a dynamically loaded PMC that
subclasses another dynamically loaded PMC.
I made two files in parrot/dynclasses/ :

You may use teardown() defined in t/src/io.t

Well, Subs don't do anything with pads, so I
While trying to generate a small example that shows the memory
corruption problem reported by Steve, I came along these issues:
a) [1] is .Sub, [2] is turned off
The subroutine prints main's $m - very likely wrong.
Q: Should the Sub get a NULL scratch pad, or a new empty scratch pad stack?

1) Unify setting/getting element count
- the elements() vtable is unused (not accessible by opcode)
- we use get_integer()
