Did something change in the OOP handling? (particular relating to polymorphism). A test program for my OOP framework is broken. The symptom is that a particular (virtual) method call doesn't reach the most proximate object - rather, the method that is called seems to be from an ancestor object.
[....] A new twist. The same program when compiled with 20040516 for Cygwin works okay. So the problem is not a GPC problem. It seems to be Mingw- specific, so please ignore my earlier mail.
I thought it could have been related to the gcc backend version, but it is not. It seems that the issue is the runtime (unless there is indeed a hidden bug in my code). I can't even imagine how I would begin to debug this one :-(
