Re: [ANN] Clue 0.6

  Okay, I tried it and failed.  

  First off, the version of sparse you use, 0.4.1, isn't readily available
at the link you provide, only 0.4.4.  I had to clone the git repository
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git) to get (or
"checkout") 0.4.1.  I then applied the given patch from clue-0.6, then built
sparse and then clue.  

  Then it failed on test/helloworld.c (-mlua51) with the following:

#0  0x0804b690 in declare_symbol (sym=0xb7ef050c) at src/clue/compile.c:235
235             if (sym->ctype.base_type->type == SYM_FN)

  I then added a few calls to assert() just before the problematic line and:

[spc]lucy:~/apps/clue-0.6>./bin/clue -mlua51 test/helloworld.c 
clue: src/clue/compile.c:237: declare_symbol: Assertion `sym->ctype.base_type != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

  I'm running CentOS release 4.4 (yes, it's old---I rarely upgrade) Linux
2.6.9, 32-bit system.

  Any ideas?
