[REBOL] Re: callbacks
From: moliad:gmai:l at: 30-Oct-2007 0:44
hi anton,
note that within the routine, I am using char* which is one of the 3 types
supported within callbacks... within the callback func, whatever you put as
the argument type is irrelevent. it totally ignores the interface you try
to impose.
I just discovered that the callbacks also ignore the error trapping
completely, and this is very hard to detect! nothing happens, the function
just quits silently... I'll try putting an attempt within the func
another detail I have been trying to understand is that the GC is totally
trashing the stack or something while callbacks are being called.
Unless I use recycle/off, at the first recycle occurence... rebol crashes.
once I am done with the callbacks I can put recycle/on, but at that point, I
dont reclaim any ram which was lost. in fact, it really seems like the GC
in rebol is often useless, the moment something makes it peak. often, an
app just grows to incredible sizes in the simplest of uses, even without
view.
