Problem with testfiles

[wboeke]

Hello,
For you this project is probably something from the past, but actually it is a very good forth, with very few errors. However, there is one problem: several examples in the tst directory are crashing, always when a file from the library has beeen included. I tried to find the cause hereof, but could'nt find it. The strange thing is that there are no problems on an old 32bit machine.
For you this is probably is a small problem, so please could you look at it?

On what operating system and architecture does the crashes happen? I would like to re-create the situation here so that I can test fixes.

My setup: a normal amd64 laptop, running Fedora linux. I compiled with gcc and with clang, with option: -Wall

[cstrotm]

Result so far: Tile-Forth is not 64bit "clean", i.e. it only works with 32bit C code.

Under Fedora on amd64 (x86_64) I had success when Tilde-Forth was compiled with the C compiler option "-m32".

I will add this to the Makefile in the coming days.

32bit are usually enough memory space for a Forth, or will more memory than 4GB be needed?

I knew that Tile works on 32bit without problems, but I don't want to cripple my modern 64bit machine with -m32 compiler option. The strange thing is that this forth works perfectly on 64bit. I only met one problem in the case that I described, so maybe it's a minor flaw. I am still searching.

I tried several solutions, but nothing worked. For me you may close this issue.
