unfortunately, we de not have a wide range of machines available. Our normal testing cycle starts with development under linux/gcc, then test under win with visual cc, for most releases zoran tests under sun with purify.
Understood. We are doing wide testing now in order to try and get this in ActiveTcl.
test-core fails on HP-UX 11 pa-risc with:
FAILED: FAILED - UpLevel Test 2 Got: ::o Expected: ::s 0 g='::o' e='::s' make: *** [test-core] Error 255
was this with gcc or cc? Is it possible to get a guest account for the hpux machine?
It didn't actually matter whether it was gcc or HP cc, both failed at the same spot. Unfortunately this machine is behind a firewall, so I couldn't give access regardless. I am still working on some other issues (just fixed the Windows doc building), so I haven't looked into this abnormality at this point. If you have an idea, I'll test it.
It's probably best to just take this patch directly and call it xotcl-1.3.4, unless you want to further clean up based on my other suggestions (like ALLOC stuff).
We will do so,
Actually, I have one more patch coming down the pipe - it only has more Makefile changes, but I will make it the same bulk-style patch as before. Actually, it changes makeDoc.xotcl as well to remove Windows-isms and be more error-sturdy.
Should be done with that shortly.
