Stack corruption(?) related to introspection on 32-bit. about v7

[cpq]

Thanks Brendan.
I thought that problem was fixed by ad5c993
Name truncation was due to pointer conversion in return v7_pointer_to_value((void *) offset) | tag; call in vm.c - but apparently it still happens.

I've just tried MSVC6 build and definitely see the same output.
Looking.

Hi Sergey,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I did a git pull from github about 10
minutes or so before I submitted the report, so it was up to date at that
time. .

Thanks,

Brendan Dowling

you're talking about, but not anymore.
To clarify, are you using the latest code?

PR #312 fixes the issue.

Out of curiosity, what project you'd like to use V7 in ?

Hi, Sergey. Thanks, that worked. Am I correct that this string corruption
was related to strings of length <= 5 that were packed into val_t's?

My project is an embedded arm-linux system that needs some automation
language for configuration and operational scripts. My go-to languages for
that have been Lua and Tcl, but I came across your library and wanted to
try it out. It looks promising.

Thanks,

Brendan

Correct about strings of length <= 5.
Thanks for the info on your project.
We target V7 for exactly those needs you've described. Also we plan to export certain API into JavaScript (like File API, device API, network API, etc) and make nodejs-like environment for embedded systems.
