Re: [Gcl-devel] Windows gcc 3.4.0 rdata custom relocation

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  Mike, this is absolutely fantastic!  Congratulations.  You
are the next relocation expert :-).

Don't know about the aref stuff -- haven't checked the patch closely,
but I already got:

GCL (GNU Common Lisp)  2.7.0 CLtL1   Jun 24 2004 15:18:57

>(setq a (make-array 10))

#(NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL)

>(aref a -1)

Error: Array index -1 out of bounds for #(NIL NIL NIL ...)
Fast links are on: do (si::use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Error signalled by AREF.
Broken at AREF.  Type :H for Help.

Do you have a test case showing the failure of the old algorithm?

Am wondering if your fantastic breakthrough warrants a 2.6.4.

Take care,
