|    kForth bug detected    |
|    04 Oct 25 21:53:47    |
      From: krishna.myneni@ccreweb.org              In another thread discussing object-oriented Forth, I used my program       epr-sim.4th as an example of using the compact OO system, mini-oof.4th.       Running epr-sim.4th under the latest development versions of both       kForth-64 and kForth-32 results in a seg fault.              To reproduce the bug,              1. start kforth64 (v0.6.0) / kforth32 (v2.6.0)       2. "include epr-sim.4th"       3. Press menu option 'C' (continuous emitter).              This happens with the latest versions, above, but works in earlier       versions kForth-64 v0.5.1 / kForth-32 v2.5.0.              For kForth-64, a bug was introduced at git commit e3f3b8e in which       substantial revisions were made to the virtual machine. The latest       development versions passed all of the Forth system tests I use to       validate the system. These tests are provided in the git repo (under       forth-src/system-test) but they failed to catch the current bug.              Interestingly, the fast versions of the latest kForth-64 and kForth-32       (kforthxx-fast) run epr-sim.4th properly. The VMs are substantially       different between the regular and fast versions.              --       Krishna Myneni              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
