1. Windows, memstructs, win32lib, IDE - round 2

Matt, Two curious problems with your version of the IDE:
- Sometimes the IDE.exw won't apparently run. Sometimes nothing seems to happen, sometimes I get the splash screen, then nothing, other times it just starts up. Odd.
- If I try and edit the Options, and save, it locks up. The amount of RAM being allcoated to the interpreter goes up by about 2k per second, and the program absorbs all the cpu time it can - 25% on my machine. So it is in a dreaded loop!
I mention these merely for information...

Thanks for letting me know. I haven't seen this behavior, but perhaps adding some with trace / trace(3) would help find the problem. This slows it down, of course. Also note that in 4.1, you can specify a longer ctrace.out file with the -trace-lines switch.
Also, I started trying to compile it, but found some bugs in the parser which I haven't fixed yet. But at least I know they're there.

Matt,
I did a trace(3) and the end of it was:
win32lib.ew:3393 if sequence(id) and win32lib.ew:3403 if validId( id ) then win32lib.ew:3247 if sequence(id) then win32lib.ew:3257 elsif not integer(id) then win32lib.ew:3260 if id <= 0 then win32lib.ew:3263 if id > length(ctrl_Handle) then win32lib.ew:3266 if ctrl_Destroyed[id] < 0 then win32lib.ew:3269 if ctrl_Handle[id] = 0 then win32lib.ew:3272 if ctrl_Parent[id]=0 then win32lib.ew:3275 return validId(ctrl_Parent[id]) win32lib.ew:3247 if sequence(id) thenThis was when IDE opened, showed the splash screen, loaded a variety of other things then just .... stopped. It seems to be in a routine called ValidId() (if memory serves me well).
I'm not sure if I get a valid ctrace if I abort a program in Task Manager ... I'll try it in a bit.
