Hi!
this code:
"bbbbabbbbb" => string foo; foo => stdout; "bbbbabbbbb" => stdout;
produces this output:
bbbbbbbbbb bbbbabbbbb
This is a cool bug. On big endian systems (like mac) the 8th byte is incremented (instead of 5th). the 2nd 4-byte word is getting added by one. We tracked this down to reference counting in the VM instructions, and found that strings are not correctly prepared for the reference counting in the VM. There is a temporary fix where strings are now "primitive" like int and float. You can find this: http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/release/snapshots/ chuck - mac os 10.3 exe chuck.exe - win32 exe chuck_type.cpp - if you want to recompile, replace chuck_type.cpp with this (1.1.5.2) All of this will be properly fixed once objects and arrays are in place - we hope it will be done soon, currently we are working hard to prepare the audicle prototype for ICMC next week. Please let us know if the fix is good. Best, Ge!
