a GC bug of the second kind

 [1/13] from: lmecir::geocities::com at: 24-Sep-2000 10:59


Jeff already signaled, that List! and Hash! datatypes are being fixed. I succeeded to track down the behaviour to the following: h: make hash! 0 insert h copy "0123456789" h recycle insert h copy "0123456789" CRASH! just in case you didn't know... Regards Ladislav

It does the same in this Rebol version: REBOL/View 0.10.34.3.1 23-Sep-2000 Copyright 2000 REBOL Technologies. All rights reserved.

The Amiga version produced the following result:
>> h: make hash! 0
== make hash! []
>> insert h copy "0123456789"
== make hash! []
>> recycle >> insert h copy "0123456789"

>> rebol/version
== 0.10.31.1.1

No crash here =] ... looks like a problem with the memory handling of Windoze? Regards Blaz

!CRASH The hash-crash on Windows 95! So, I ask the question - why did you initialize to size 0?? Try the same thing with initialize of size 10: h: make hash! 10

Windoze? It was a problem with a older version of Rebol being distributed. The very latest version fixes this problem. Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.nbci.com/AndrewMartin/ http://members.xoom.com/AndrewMartin/

A bug that Rebol crew haven't fixed yet. :-) Unfortunately I've forgotten the example code that made Rebol crash. :-( Anyone? Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.nbci.com/AndrewMartin/ http://members.xoom.com/AndrewMartin/

Hi, example code: word: use [a] [a: 11 'a] get word recycle get word CRASH! Ladislav

Hm... I thought the GC-Bug with bindings of indefinite extent was solved??? But you're right it crashes (actual REBOL/View [Linux x86 glibc6]) Regards Jochen

I see. However, on WIN2k Advanced server it just disappears with not even the rebol.exe process running.
