Re: diff to tonight's kaffe cvs tree to work on ppc

Hi Tom,

Good to hear from you again!

  This is only true as far as the 64 bit systems running on the 32 bit kernel,
which is all there is at the moment.

I am confused.  Which of the following is true on a 64 bit system running on a
32 bit kernel?

A).  sizeof(unsigned int) > sizeof(void *)

or

B). sizeof(unsigned int) < sizeof(void *)

If A) is true, then my stack alignment macro will still work.  If B) is true, I
am in trouble.

  Work has started on the 64 bit PowerPC Linux kernel, if Kaffe is compiled as a
64 bit app for that kernel then sizeof(unsigned long) = sizeof(void *) will be
true. Certainly not a big deal at this stage, but thought you'd be interested
none the less.

Sounds good!  When IBM is ready to start giving 64bit systems to help
developers, let me know! ;-)

Take care,

Kevin
