</span> Would you please try with the current Squeak 5 release?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>OK, so in an updated Squeak 5 release containing only Alien</div><div><br></div><div>- the 5.0 All-in-one locks up and core dumps</div><div>- the same VM from my site (<a href="http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3397/CogSpur.app-15.27.3397.tgz">CogSpur.app-15.27.3397.tgz</a>) fails the testLongLong test but all others pass.</div><div><br></div><div>So there's something strange about the all-in-one. I'll try and investigate further as time allows but perhaps you could look at the plugins and see whether one of them is rogue, e.g. by removing the external plugins one by one?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Also, is it feasible to make FFI calls to a 64-bit C library?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not from a 32-bit executable. One can't even load a 64-bit library into a 32-bit executable. Building a 64-bit version of the 32-bit VM is possible but a lot of work (needs a 674-nit JIT). Instead I'm pursuing a proper all-64-bit solution.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
