The error
{{{
# Failed test 'Parrot_PMC_cmp_pmc'
# at t/src/extend_vtable.t line 155.
# got: 'Failed!
# Exception is: type 44 severity 2 message 'Multiple Dispatch: No suitable candidate found for 'cmp_pmc', with signature 'PP->P''
# '
# expected: '1
# -1
# 0
# Done!
# '
}}}
is produced, even though the signature of cmp_pmc is PP->P as far as I can tell:
{{{

src/pmc/default.pmc-1851- PMC *retval;
src/pmc/default.pmc-1852-
