extensions (Was: Re: ANN: GDL2)

[Stefan Urbanek]

Hi,

Great to see it, especialy postgreSQL adaptor. Good work! :)

While compiling extensions:

Compiling file GCArray.m ...
GCArray.m: In function `-[GCArray initWithObjects:count:]':
GCArray.m:56: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
GCArray.m:59:71: pasting "[" and "[" does not give a valid preprocessing token
GCArray.m: In function `-[GCArray initWithArray:]':
GCArray.m:71: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
GCArray.m:115:46: pasting "[" and "(" does not give a valid preprocessing token
GCArray.m: In function `-[GCArray indexOfObjectIdenticalTo:]':
...

I have to do (in extensions/gnustep-base):

Index: NSException.h
===================================================================
RCS file: 
/cvsroot/gnustep/gnustep/dev-libs/extensions/extensions/gnustep-base/NSException.h,v
retrieving revision 1.4
diff -r1.4 NSException.h
101a102
> #define PRECOMP

to make it compile.

This error is common with some sources compiled with gcc 3.3 (some fixes were 
already made to gnuste-gui some time ago).

This involves a question, what are extensions good for? I see that there is a 
garbage collection there and some kind of another exception handling mechanism.
Would it be possible to use GC from gnustep-base?

Stefan
