Eh, seems like some off by one in my testing -- things work now, including X apps.

Darn, there might still be problems -- i.e. running stubgen.Though again, the C backend works to build the entire system.And I think self-built gcc 5.2.0 helped.I'd rather not depend on that though.
I'm increasingly leary of the weak linkages among compiler/assembler/linker.
Interesting note, if you try to build stock gcc 4.7.4 on 10.10.4 it crashes pretty early.
I'll keep poking around but it could be a while.Anyone else running 10.10?
cm3cg is noticeably faster to run than the C backend, even on new machine.Darn, I was hoping modern hardware would make it look better. :(

I figured out a big problem in 10.10.4 using the gcc backend.Probably the only problem.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67183 https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24428
I had previously hacked cm3cg to always be 10.4-compatible.I don't like the tools to probe their host and tailor theiroutput to it, lest the output or the tools meant to be copiedto an older/newer host.
The bug is demonstrated clearly in my bug reports.
The bug is this: 32bit + 10.4 compatible + gcc backend + clang assembler
gcc/cm3cg output "stubs' and "non-lazy pointers" in any order. clang outputs them all stubs first, then non-lazy pointers. When the order isn't like clang, the LLVM assembler doesn't match up the refs and defs correctly, leading to function calls resolving to somewhat arbitrary other functions.
It is "like" a compiler bug, you get incorrect code, but it is an assembler bug.
There are three classes of fix. But nothing perfect/easy. 1) Run the same assembler as gcc. On my system this is "as" in path. But I don't know if this is guaranteed to work. I currently use gcc -x assembler as the assembler. 2) Drop 10.4 support -- don't output the stubs. 3) Change cm3cg to output all stubs before all non-lazy pointers. I'd have to see if that is easy or wait for the gcc developers to offer a patch. 4) Drop 32bit. :) 64bit never has stubs. If gcc output object files directly, like most other compilers do, that'd fix it. The C backend has no problem. - Jay

And now 10.10 works.I think what changed is switching to a self-built gcc 5.2.0 from the builtin "gcc" which is actually clang/llvm (frontend and backend). I'll have to try again with the builtin. Strange.
It was failing with the 4.7 gcc backend. i.e. with very little C.And I believe it had failed with C backend (prior to the Builder.m3 problems).
I switched to the C backend for better debugging and it went away. I had somewhat accidentally also changed C compilers -- oops, too much change. Anyway, after I rebuild the entire system instead of just the compiler, I'll go back and try some more combinations and debug.. one has to learn a new debugger on this system too -- lldb replaces m3gdb, and the Xcode gui debugger was briefly working quite nicely but stopped working. :(
Is anyone else using 10.10 with the "builtin" gcc/clang?Or maybe clang toolset on another platform?
Later, - Jay

I've seen it work now on AMD64_LINUX, SPARC32_SOLARIS, and I386_DARWIN 10.5.8.I think MacOSX 10.10.4 has something else wrong with it that'll take a while to figure out.
So I commited it again.
PLEASE NOTE that the upgrade procedure is tricky like with cm3cg, but the results of getting it wrong are worse than the recent round of cm3cg changes.You will get runtime crashes.
upgrade.py and upgrade-full.sh and likely upgrade.sh all do the right thing, same as always.
Not only is cm3 closely tied with cm3cg, but it also closely tied with m3core.The compiler and runtime collaborate on producing and consuming certain data structures,and these data structures have changed now.
At least it should be more debuggable now with the C backend -- so I can see local variables for example.Fixing cm3cg to work with plain -g would be good.
Is anyone else running 10.10?
Thanks, - Jay

I believe this is working ok on MacOS X 10.5.8 with cm3cg and C backend.However things do not work on 10.10.4. I'm guessing for another unknownreason but I want to debug that separately for now.
If anyone else can give the previous a try on their configuration, that'd be appreciated.(In github app, you can revert my revert. I haven't found how to do w/ git command line).
Thank you.
Specifically on 10.0.4 I get:
