2.4 problems

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Hello,

Another keyword Borland doesn't like: "asm"

Used as a variable name in fptr.e, Borland won't compile the translated 
code.


I'm also having another problem with 2.4 with memory allocation or 
possibly with sequence concatenation.  Haven't nailed it down yet, but 
in certain circumstances when using the "compress()" function in 
database.e my program comes to a dead halt. (I'm not actually using 
database.e or EDS -- I stole the function to use for other things.)  It 
hasn't really stopped completely, but it goes really slow (suddenly) and 
takes forever to return from the function (like many minutes for what 
should take a fraction of a second).  Doesn't do it in 2.3.  As yet, I'm 
unable to reproduce the problem with a simple example.  The strange 
thing is, it doesn't slow down until I've already called the function 
successfully a few dozen times previously in the program.  Anyway, I 
still think there are issues there somewhere.

It acts the same way translated with either Watcom or Borland -- I got 
the impression that Borland does not use the new allocator?  So maybe 
the problem lies with your changes to the "&" operator?  You might want 
to look it over as I may not be able to isolate this...
