[gobo-eiffel-develop] Dynamic type set for Result of an external function

[Howard T. <how...@di...>]

Hi all,

I am attempting to compile a WIN32 version of my EDP project using gec.

The gobo-3.5 version of gec does not (apparently) recognize that an external 
'C' routine can return a non-Void result, in that it generates a direct call 
to gevoid() when making a qualified call on the result of the external call.

I need to adapt the compiler to assume that the typeset of the return from an 
external call is the full typeset of the descendants of the type of the 
Result of the external call.

Can anyone suggest what is needed ?

I will be updating the SVN code on sf.net/projects/edp with the gobo-3.5 
version of Linux and WIN32 alpha(!) code when I have both versions working.
