parse crash - (was: Re: parse consumption)

Well, here is a simple example, tested on a clean REBOL/View 1.2.8.3.1 3-Aug-2002 (beta) and a clean REBOL/View 1.2.1.3.1 21-Jun-2001 I could probably do some more experiments and figure out some more details, but anyway: ----------- crash: func ["demonstrates a bug in parse that crashes rebol" target [any-string!] {try "/../"} /local start post ][ parse/all target [ start: "/" any [ "../" post: (remove/part start post) | to "/" ; to or thru will cause the crash ] ] ] crash "/../" ----------- Maybe someone can reduce it further. Anton.

Hi Anton, thanks for your example. I think, that it can be reduced to: parse/all "/" [start: skip opt (remove start) to "*"] It is interesting, that the following code doesn't cause the crash: parse/all "/" [start: skip opt (remove start) to #"*"] Cheers -L ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anton" Well, here is a simple example, tested on a clean REBOL/View 1.2.8.3.1 3-Aug-2002 (beta) and a clean REBOL/View 1.2.1.3.1 21-Jun-2001 I could probably do some more experiments and figure out some more details, but anyway: ----------- crash: func ["demonstrates a bug in parse that crashes rebol" target [any-string!] {try "/../"} /local start post ][ parse/all target [ start: "/" any [ ../ post: (remove/part start post) | to "/" ; to or thru will cause the crash ] ] ] crash "/../" ----------- Maybe someone can reduce it further.
