<p>Currently, compiling the x86_64 vm with gcc lead to VM crashes<br>
This is related to stack handling<br>
We solved following bug by replacing with clang as a workaround:<br>
<a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="508368037" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/433" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/433/hovercard" href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/433">#433</a></p>
<p>But having to change compiler is a smell, and we don't have many more compilers available next time we hit such unexplained problem!<br>
The first task would be to understand the root cause.</p>
<p>Note that we also had to use clang for making win64 FFI work<br>
<a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="190180283" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/99" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/99/hovercard" href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/99">#99</a><br>
or working around various CI red builds...<br>
<a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="312199618" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/241" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/241/hovercard" href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/241">#241</a><br>
