[MacRuby-devel] Assertion failed: (castIsValid(getOpcode(), S, Ty) && "Illegal SExt"), function SExtInst, file Instructions.cpp, line 2508.

[Art Taylor]

I'm in the process of migrating an Objective-C project to MacRuby (0.5
trunk) and am seeing this error when I run the application:

*Assertion failed: (castIsValid(getOpcode(), S, Ty) && "Illegal SExt"),
function SExtInst, file Instructions.cpp, line 2508.*

The stack looks like this:

I was following the (admittedly quite old) page covering this sort of
activity at http://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/MacRubyFromObjC.

My main.m and rb_main.rb are vanilla and copied from the FlickrDemo (which
runs on my system).  If I reduce rb_main.rb to the bare minimum of the
following, I still get the error.

framework 'Cocoa'

NSApplicationMain(0, nil)

I'm assuming it's something in my ObjC code that is causing the problem --
is there a good way to zero in on it?  My llvm and MacRuby knowledge is
pretty rough, so I'm not sure where to drop breakpoints.  If there's a
"don't use <datatype>" rule of thumb, that would be great, too, as that
appears to be where things may be hung up.

Thanks!
