1. Euphoria in Euphoria
I got a pleasant suprise the other day. Delroy Gayle sent me a debugged
version of Eu, a Euphoria interpreter written in Euphoria. He's fixed a
number of problems and added a number of features. It now appears to run
most Euphoria/DOS programs, including Language Wars and EE. The speed is
suprisingly good - EE is actually usable under it.
Hopefully, he'll be posting it in a few days, and perhaps even taking over
the development of the project.

I would be very interested in that code, because it would allow me to try to
figure out many of the undocumented or lightly documented items in the
language. It would also provide a good base for writing proposed extensions
to the language for experimentation and testing. It would be a lot of fun to
test many of the ideas for namespace using this tool. I will be looking
forward to this posting.

Well, it's been almost a month; no posting, no further news. Is this on hold
for some reason? I know I'm not the only person impatiently looking forward
to seeing this...!

The hangup was that while debugging my code, Delroy uncovered a (hopefully
obscure) bug in Euphoria. He reported it to Robert, and it's been fixed in
the latest Linux release, but not Win32 or DOS. I suppose Delroy could hack
the FOR loop into a WHILE loop and post it anyway, and I sent him a note
suggesting that be done.

Is this the kind of bug that is going to jump out and bite us?
I'd like to know before I call my current project complete.

I noticed his name in the Linux release notes for Eu v2.2, but I didn't make
the connection until now.

My main concern was that his work might have been abandoned for some reason.
As long as it's still being developed, and will see the light of day
eventually, that's fine by me.
Of course, if he makes the modifications you suggested and sends it in
early, I guess I won't complain!

This bug has been there since before Euphoria 1.0.
Very few recursive algorithms count *up* at one level
of recursion and count *down* at another level of recursion
in the same for-loop. The fix is already in 2.2 for Linux and will
appear in 2.2 beta for WIN32+DOS32 within a few weeks.
When he changed the for-loop to a while-loop everything
worked fine.

Look at http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/relnotes22.htm, the "All platforms: bug
fix:" -- as it's described, the problem sounds fairly obscure to me.

Thanks. That's not the thing I would willingly code, so no worries.
