[M3devel] Upgrade dependencies, was: Re: do-cm3.cmd for Windows

http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-libs/libm3/src/os/POSIX/OSConfigPosix.m3.diff?r1=1.21;r2=1.22

 

a bunch of dead strings also removed..

 

There are references to the Compiler type in m3core.

 

C:\dev2\cm3.2\m3-libs\m3core\src\runtime\common\RTDebug.m3(9):  EOL = ARRAY Compiler.OS OF TEXT { "\n", "\r\n" }[ Compiler.ThisOS ];


C:\dev2\cm3.2\m3-libs\m3core\src\runtime\common\RuntimeError.m3(16):        self := LOOPHOLE (Compiler.ThisException(), RT0.ActivationPtr).exception;


I don't think these are problems, but agreed it is a little fragile.

The problem is presumably only present if Compiler.Platform or Compiler.ThisPlatform is referenced.

The first use breaks of OS = {Win32, Posix} grows, but that is also trivially fixed.

I fixed that bug at least in libm3. The dependency was easily removed and very painful when present.
see:
http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-libs/libm3/src/os/POSIX/m3makefile.diff?r1=1.8;r2=1.9
http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-libs/libm3/src/os/POSIX/m3makefile.diff?r1=1.10;r2=1.11
 
Is there more of it?
I haven't see the error in a while. Coincidence?
I can test it out..
