Who's idea was this MEMORY change in the Euphoria source code ?
You're right, we do need to acknowledge this important enhancement in Euphoria.
I had code that worked in ver 3.11 without errors. I have tried for weeks to get code to work in ver. 4.0 with this new memory managed crap. I want to know who thought it was great. The WIN98 memory code does not work in ver. 4.0 properly. There is something wrong intermittently in call_backs and other defined function handling. I suspect that is going to cause problems in Linux too.
Nope. Its just Win98 that is brain dead.
I took the same code that wouldn't work on a WIN98 exw.exe and created a new exw.exe for win2000 and the code worked fine.
Doesn't this say something about win98?
I don't have simple program to demonstrate the problem. All I want is WIN98 4.0 code to work the same as it did on veer 3.11. If you can't do that; then use the memory management that rob originally wrote; that always worked.
That is not the only alternative. You could upgrade to a Microsoft supported version of Windows.
I don't see any advantage to your new and improved crap. I haven't seen any one comment on it's advantage.
Please excuse me, for I'm about to be very harsh. I apologize in advance.
It may be just me Bernie, but you are coming across as a rude whinger. Often making wild, dramatic and thoughless complaints that frequently turn out to be your mistake. In this case, there is a bug in the Win98 edition of v4.0 that is not present in other editions. So rather than carry on like a headless chook, it would be better if we calmly try to resolve this. I would like to help, but I don't have win98, and haven't used it for six or seven years.
If you haven't got a small demonstration program, the standard process is to start with a large program that has the problem, and chip away parts of it until it works. The last 'chip' is usually where the problem is.
Everyone who wants go back to the original memory management raise their hand.
No way. I've decide to make progress rather than stay in the past.
