Still working on getting Modula-3 going on Sparc64. I think I'm getting close ... In GDB I notice that the stack pointer and frame pointer are often (always?) odd numbers, e.g.: (gdb) p/x $sp $1 = 0x7fdffffdec1 (gdb) p/x $fp $2 = 0x7fdffffdfb1 What is the reason for that? Are the low-order bits simply ignored? Surely the stack is more aligned than that. I'm pretty sure this is confusing the M3 garbage collector. It just might be the proverbial Last Bug. :-) Thanks, John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
