[REBOL] Re: Windows Crash

Hey Cyphre, does any of this look crash worthy to you??
im pretty sure this is where the crash is happening, but it's not
consistent, sometimes it will happen right away, other times it will take 3
or so hours.
files is a text-list
probe-messages: func [/local tempmsg emessages j k l m]
[
insert remote2 encrypt "Send IDs"
wait remote2
clear messages
while [record: pick remote2 1][append messages decrypt record]
clear files/data
clear msg_ids
msgs: []
clear msgs
for i 1 (length? messages) 5
[
j: i + 1
k: i + 2
l: i + 3
m: i + 4
tempmsg: make msg_info
[
msgid: messages/:i
from: messages/:j
fromid: messages/:k
subject: messages/:l
date: copy/part messages/:m (length? messages/:m) - 5
]
replace/all tempmsg/date "." ":"
insert msg_ids tempmsg
while [(length? tempmsg/date) < 25]
[append tempmsg/date " "]
while [(length? tempmsg/from) < 25]
[append tempmsg/from " "]
emessages: rejoin [tempmsg/date "" tempmsg/from "" tempmsg/subject]
insert msgs emessages
]
append files/data msgs
;update-text-list files
files/update
]
Thanks, Matt
Hi Matt,
Although Rebol interpret is very stable and good piece of code there are
still some bugs which could crash it.
here are two example which bothers me in View(in both try to press "hide box
button"):
FIRST CRASH EXAMPLE
a: make face [
size: 50x50
color: red
]
b: make face [
color: blue pane: [a]
]
view layout [
bx: box with [
pane: [b]
]
button "hide box" [
hide bx
]
]
SECOND CRASH EXAMPLE
a: make face [size: 50x50 color: red]
view layout [
box with [
color: blue
pane: reduce [a]
]
button "hide box" [
hide a/parent-face
]
]
Also drawing filled polygons bigger than visible area of window using DRAW
dialect can cause problems like strange console message "not-enough memory"
like:
view layout [box 200x200 effect [draw [fill-pen red polygon 406x-672 227x43
1022x782 fill-pen blue polygon 406x-672 1022x782 -44x126]]]
regards,
Cyphre
PS: there is probably more situations in other fields than graphics how to
crash Rebol but I remember those because I spent lot of time when debugging
them...
