[01:42] <braddr> anyone awake with sparc32 abi experience?
[08:07] <fabbione> morning
[08:07] <fabbione> braddr: sparc32???
[08:32] <braddr> g'morning
[08:33] <braddr> hey, not everyone builds for 64bits all the time. :)
[08:34] <fabbione> what are you trying to build in 64bit?
[08:34] <braddr> I'm working on getting gdc working on solaris (the d language front end for gcc).  It mostly works.
[08:34] <braddr> the one are that doesn't 'work' is what I believe to be an abi difference between x86 and solaris
[08:35] <braddr> er.. s/solaris/sparc/
[08:35] <braddr> too used to solaris equating to sparc.
[08:36] <braddr> I haven't actually confirmed, but I believe gdc sticks with 32bit compilation for all platforms.  I should confirm that, but it's tangential to the problem I'm seeing.
[08:36] <braddr> lemee pull up a url
[08:36] <fabbione> hmm no, i can't help on slolaris
[08:36] <fabbione> i don't have enough experience in building crap over there
[08:37] <braddr> the problem is that an idiom that's become prevelant in D code is really really abusing an x86ism.
[08:37] <braddr> that doesn't hold true with other abi calling conventions.
