Hi,
I have often wondered if this behaviour should be detected by the compiler / VM and cause an error to occur
Wait, did I miss something? Maybe I sohould have looked more carefully but this just looked to me like a infinite loop that doesn't advance time, which is a example of the halting problem which is famously and provably unsolvable. In that kind of case you can guess that the VM may have halted, as the "watchdog" functionality that causes the popup in such cases in the MiniAudicle does, but you can't -in the general case- be sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem Yours, Kas.
