Re: Bigloo 4.3a - global variable over written when file is loaded

Hi Todd,

The over writing doesn't happen at the same spot when run repeatedly from command line. When run as an argument to valgrind, the spot where the variable is over written seems consistent. I don't see anything remarkable in valgrind output or with the functions being defined.

If you can provide me with an actual example, I will be glad to have a
look at it. As is, I don't totally understand the problem you are
describing.

If you don't want your code to be public, we can discuss that privately.

> First I am going to try 4.2c and earlier to see where the issue may have been introduced.
I would definitively recommend to directly switch to bigloo4.3b. I'm actively
working on that version that will be officially announce pretty soon.

What do you mean. The C++ parts of bigloo.h file are incorrect? I will double
check that.

>  2. I was hiding load and loadq from the interpreter, so I had a module that called the original load, loadq from a new name. importing this module causes a segfault. I have removed the hiding functionality for now, but I would like to pursue this. I will make an example and email that seperately.
I will try to re-construct something similar to what you are describing but
a concrete code would help for that too.

Thanks in advance,
