Subject: Re: compiler error: argument of type "VALUE *" is incompatible with parameter of type "VALUE"

Yes, the patch was not applied correctly, since I had both the
following lines, rather than just the second one:

....
-    (tmp__protect_tmp = rb_node_newnode(NODE_ALLOCA,
\
+    (tmp__protect_tmp = NEW_NODE(NODE_ALLOCA,
\
....

However, the original errors persist:

16 errors detected in the compilation of "eval.c".

And at least the first error (and I suspect the subsequent errors, too)
related to the following pre-processed code appears to be valid:

                 argv = (tmp__protect_tmp =
rb_node_newnode(NODE_ALLOCA, (VALUE*
)ruby_xmalloc(sizeof(VALUE)*(argc)),tmp__protect_tmp,argc),
(void*)tmp__protect_
tmp->u1 . node);
