Hi, I have the following code, that makes some problems.

This works:
	char[] str1 = "abc";
	k_println(str1);

And this part fails:
	Object obj1;

	char[] str1;
	str1 = obj1.toString();
	k_println(str1);

What's happening at the line with the assignment? The code compiles 
without any unresoleved reference errors but bombs. This is the ASM 
output, of the second code snippet.

		push	EBP
		mov	EBP,ESP
		xor	EAX,EAX
		mov	ECX,[EAX]
		call	dword ptr 8[ECX]
		push	EDX
		push	EAX
		call	near ptr _D6kernel7console7printlnFAaZv
		pop	EBP
		ret

What is this "call dword ptr 8[ECX]" thing? Is this a call thru the vtable 
of the object? It seems, that my stack pointer is wrong. But I don't do 
anything with it. Maybe that's the problem...

Hi, no, because it's a (local) stack object. Or is this not supported?  
IIRC this is totaly legal. Robert

Class objects are not on the stack; you'll need to new them.
