Hi,

const float Pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795f;

Give a runtime crash in PowerPC when being compiled.
Not sure why, not sure if it was fixed for new versions, but thought it would be good to mention.


edit:

it is a global constant.

float Pi = 3.14;

also do the same crash.

int Unique_Var_name_PaPi=4;

also do the same crash.

but

int Unique_Var_name_PaPi;

doesn't

So the problem is the assignation constructor of global variables in PowerPC (at least ran by rosetta).

Can you give the latest version from the SVN a try?

If not I'll have to boot up my MacMini and give this a try.

In Debug mode the library didn't compile. It did in release mode.

It took me a lot of work to make my code work because of the changes on the library.

With the new version of the library there weren't a crash. I don't feel my tests were enough since the ideal would have been to isolate the problem (I haven't created a test app).

Unfortunately, I cannot use the new library because of the too many changes.

Anyway, this will be the last universal build I'll made for a game (and it is so far the only one where I'm using scripting), the work-around is as easy as to declare the var within a scope so I won't worry about this anymore.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the update.

Sounds like I'll have to do some compatibility testing on the Mac again anyway, at the very least to make the debug build work again.
