Hey Guys I wanted to give a quick update.


I recently fixed an interesting bug that happened de-referencing 
null pointers to the heap.
That would cause arrays to be overwritten, when passed as 
arguments.
That bug had me stuck for a few hours.

Getting Function-Calls right will be impossible,
if the ABI issues remain.

Currently it's about the handling of pointers.
My architecture forbids pointers to the stack, therefore every 
time you take the address of something it needs to be pushed onto 
the heap.
And then the heap-value and the stack-value needs to be kept in 
sync with each other.
This is rather complicated, so it will take a while to get right.
At this point it might take another month until function calls 
are working.

On a different note.
Thanks for your continued moral support.
It is nice to know that my work is eagerly awaited by people.
As always I am sorry for the long time it takes.
I hope that my reports give a little insight into what issues I 
am facing, and why it is taking so long.
