Fellow ChucKists,

The .quine() member function of the Shred object (which returns the code of the shred in question as a string) doesn't correctly include comments for sporked functions.

To demonstrate, this works; =========================== //this is a comment <<>>; =======================

Yet this;

===================== fun void foo() { //this is a comment second => now; me.quine(); }

spork ~ foo(); hour => now; ===================

only prints this (notice the removed comment);

[chuck](VM): sporking incoming shred: 1 (unnamed1)... "second => now; me.quine();" : (string)

This is of course quite inconvenient.

Yours, Kas.

Kas, I am deeply concerned about the .quine() bug. Upon further testing, it appears to ignore every other comment yet print the others. Surely we must address this blatant problem somehow. Les
