Hi all,<br>
<br>
This is a two part question.<br>
<br>
First is this still a bad bug in cog?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Nothing to do with Cog. Also happens in the interpreter. It's a manifestation of the limitations of storeOn:.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
I am using a March version of cog (3.9-7 ?). I have tried printing<br>
<br>
[] storeString<br>
<br>
in Sq11453 running on cog397 and on an earlier cog.<br>
<br>
The program goes into a tight infinite loop. It will not respond to a user interrupt and AFAICT the only way out is to kill the cog vm from the system console. I originally found it on an older vm before trying to update to the latest one I have downloaded.<br>
<br>
Second question is what was I really trying to say?<br>
<br>
I am collecting time to runs for a bunch of blocks. What I wanted to do was to print each block next to its run time. I.E. from a block get a string which if evaluated would be equivalent to the block. I thought that was what store string was for. But for block it doesn't work. It didn't work in 3.9 though there you could at least interrupt the attempt.<br>
printString is no help since it just tells me I have a closure. What particular closure remains a mystery.<br>
<br>
It seems to me that in many cases storeString fails to do its stated function.<br>
<br>
Anyway is there a known way to get from the block to a readable description of it?<br>
<br>
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace<br>
