crashed Rebol...

 [1/8] from: matt:fitzgerald:bigpond at: 23-Oct-2001 16:20


Does anyone else experience Rebol/View hanging when typing 'source system' at the >> prompt? I can seem to cause it to hang everytime. -Matt

I should have mentioned that it does this on Win98 and Win2K ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Does anyone else experience Rebol/View hanging when typing 'source system' at the >> prompt? I can seem to cause it to hang everytime. -Matt

only after you initialize the view engine. To get the source for system start REBOL without the desktop. Enjoy!! Ammon

IIRC it does some recursive printing. Try the same aproach, just don't start View to desktop - start it directly to console mode ... It could help ... -pekr- Matt Fitzgerald wrote:

How long did you wait? It takes a while to start giving you it if I remember correctly.

Same thing happens if you use probe (although a more specific probe like system/view/screen-face is fine). I recall some doco mentioning the fact that recursive code/definitions in system create an endless loop for high-level source and probe commands. I also recall a rebsite that had an excellent object-navigator script for system . . . let you look at it like a functional tree.

You can also, for example: probe first system ; == [self version build product ....] type? system/words ; == object! probe first system/words etc. That is the beginnings of an object navigator. Anton.
