[Openmcl-devel] Getting a double-float from ObjC

[Sebastian Nozzi]

Hi Gary,

There might be a similar problem here:
(or doesn't OpenMCL support unsigned long longs?)

? (setf num *)
#<NS-CF-NUMBER 6148 (#x1BAF70)>

? (send num 'unsigned-long-long-value)
 > Error in process Listener(5): The message "unsignedLongLongValue" 
must be sent using SEND/STRET

 > While executing: BUILD-CALL

(OpenMCL 0.14.2-p1)
