Exec format error

[Ploppz]

$ ozc -v
Mozart Compiler 2.0.1+build.8.db41d83e-dirty (Mon, 22 Oct 2018 15:20:43 +0200) playing Oz 3

(mozart2 installed from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mozart2-git/)

OS: Arch Linux with kernel version 5.0.2
CPU: 64-bit (AMD Ryzen 5 1600)

My problem is that when I run ozc -x Game.oz, I get an executable file Game that I cannot execute - when I try to execute it I get the error bash: ./Game: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error. file Game says it's just "data".

Minimal Game.oz:

functor
import
   System
   Application
define
   {System.showInfo 'hi'}
   {Application.exit 0}
end

Yes, the -x flag is indeed not implemented correctly and has currently the same effect as -c except that it produces a file named Game instead of Game.ozf produced by -c. But as for now, both files contain exactly the same content. You can check that with ozengine Game.

See

mozart2/lib/main/sys/Pickle.oz

Lines 66 to 71 in 0b30464

	proc {SaveWithHeader Value FileName Header Level}
	% TODO Actually write the header
	%{Sink write(Header)}
	%{Sink write(HeaderMagic)}
	{Save Value FileName}
	end

Thanks! So I need to use ozengine to run the file.

Yes, that's the way it is for now.
You can leave this bug open until we fix it ;-)
