<body class='hmmessage'>alpha/osf doesn't work because basictypes/ctypes has a problem with the 32bit or 64bit types.<BR>
specifically "unsigned long" is "empty" for some reason and many errors cascade from that.<BR>
<BR>
if you change:<BR>
unsigned_int = [16_0 .. 16_ffffffff];<BR>to<BR>
unsigned_int = [16_0 .. 16_fffffffe];<BR>
<BR>
you get:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
***<BR>*** runtime error:<BR>*** An array subscript was out of range.<BR>*** file "../src/TWord.m3", line 199<BR>***<BR><BR>
Presumably fixing this first problem is the first step in any "real" 64 bit target (SPARC64, PPC64, AMD64, IA64), and the second problem should just be fixed as a matter of course.<BR>
<BR>
I know this is the least of anyone's concerns..<BR>
