smells like a problem the next "upgrade" of the OS will break.
It was always a problem, passing C_DOUBLE to 64-bit .so on linux only ever worked when all args were C_DOUBLE. It won't come back.
There was an earlier problem with some kernels being compiled with "-allignstacktosixteenbytes" (or whatever its really called) and some not, but again, now it's fixed it won't come back.
praps a way of testing Phix
That's what "p -test" is for.
To be honest, neither of the above have made it into that yet, and they'll probably be tricker than most, but I'll give 'em a bash.
One thing I can promise (while I still have all my marbles) is anything that bites twice will end up being properly tested by p -test.
Things will always break, I suppose. I will also just say that irv is currently on a completely untrodden path.
