Question for Benjamin Herr:

My gdc line numbers appear to be different from yours.
I presume you are referring to this line in lexer.c:

assert(sizeof(long) == 4); // some dependencies

which I "fixed" to:

assert(sizeof(long) >= 4); // some dependencies

Is this correct?

In aggregate.h the "offending line" seems to be:

#define CLASSINFO_SIZE  0x3C            // value of ClassInfo.size

I wasn't sure exactly what to do with this.  Please post your diffs.

Thanks,

Yes, mine are quite outdated.

I did indeed refer to this line. I do not know whether changing the assert will eventually destroy the world, though.

I think my guesswork eventually lead me to use
#define CLASSINFO_SIZE \
  (sizeof(void*)*2 * 4 + sizeof(void*)*5 + sizeof(int)*2)

I hope that my very unscientific hacks are of any use,
