1. Return misplacing values?
Hello All,
I am having a fairly strange bug. I have a multiple file program that
keeps crashing out on the return values from functions.
Example Code:
----------------------------------------------
File 1: (dogprog.exw)
---------------
include walkthedog.ew
integer dog
dog = 1
dog = sniffhydrant(dog)
...
File 2: (walkthedog.ew)
---------------
global function sniffhydrant(integer doggie)
doggie += 1
return doggie
end function
----------------------------------------
In this example it would crash on "return doggie" saying that doggie
has no value. At least, thats what ex.err is telling me. The strange
part is that it isn't consistently doing this. Only after a few hundred
iterations or so. I am using Eu 2.5
Now obviously if this was a euphoria bug someone else would have to of
noticed this by now. What are some directions I can look to find the
cause of this bug?
I am using a timer in this program. Could it be ticking and dropping
the value? (Shot from left field!)
Thanks in advance!

2. Re: Return misplacing values?
Could you please post us your ex.err and your timmer code. Your example works
fine as a single core/thread application.
n.b. this problem is probably not related but sniffhydrant() may need to check
the bounds of 'doogie' before returning ie try...
global function sniffhydrant(integer doggie)
if doggie < #7FFFFFFF then
doggie += 1
else
-- catch the type check failure and
-- allow the thread to continue (-:
puts(1, "unable to increment 'doggie'")
end if
return doggie
end function
try your code useing this version of sniffhydrant() and see what happens.
an ex.err might produce a better analisis.
