Freaked out man!

Hi,

Its odd - if I place a comment at the end of a program I'm writing,
its ok. If I take out the comment, the program crashes?!

Any ideas why?

p.s. Its a game with lots of system access going on.

p.s. Its a game with lots of system access going on.

Basically, I'm doing something like this:

Game::newuserdir => ".game_0.1",
:datadir => "data") do |game|
game.state_machine.add("1", DefaultState.new)
game.state_machine.add("2", AnotherState.new)
end

<crash at this point>


After executing the block, the game's initialise method goes straight
into the game loop. On exiting the loop (when the game quits)
deinitialisation is performed.

A crash occurs at the shown point.

But if I change the top line to:

g = Game::newuserdir => ".game_0.1",
:datadir => "data") do |game|
....

Then its OK.

What's going on? Any ideas?

Maybe you recompiled ruby but forgot to recompile the extensions (?).

Please try to cut down your program to a minimal example, and post the minimal example here.

Just to let you know, I cancelled this post after posting - obviously
it didn't get cancelled. That's the thing about usenet. Sorry about
that.
