[Sbcl-devel] Patch for linux ppc and linux sparc failure with new sb-instrospect

[Bruce O'N. <ec...@pc...>]

Hi,

1.0.29.14 (and later) causes some indigestion on ppc/linux and sparc/linux with the 
sb-instrospect changes.

A proposed patch is below.  I think sparc bits are ok, with the possible
addition that they may be valid only for linux, but, the ppc conditional is 
a bit more interesting.

When run straight from the command line, ie, run sbcl, load sb-instrospect,
run

(sb-introspect:allocation-information #'cons)

you get back 

:heap 
(:space :dynamic :generation 6 :write-protected t :pinned nil :large nil)

but while running the tests in test-driver.lisp you get back

:heap
(:space :dynamic :generation 6 :write-protected t :pinned nil :large t)


So, therefore, my patch may just be causing an error to be ignored
rather than being correct.

Thanks!

cheers
