Christian,

Can you provide more details, so we can try to check this one out? Log file, method source, etc.

Thanks,

Dale

Found another one (sudden death):

A method returning a literal 78 KB String.

What is the limit on the method source size?

Or, is there a limit for strings inside a method?

 

Cheers,

                Christian

From replies off list, I heard, that big input files are not a problem. Good to know, thank you.

 

For the crash on the big method, I investigated and created an input file which reproduces the problem (attached as bigMethod.gs). The log is attached as well.

My theory was wrong. It seems not to be a problem with many literals in a method, but something else.

When I input the file in a Topaz shell (on windows), it works seamless and the method can be called.

Steps:

1. Login to topaz
2. enter ‘output push c:\image\bigMethod.log’[CR]
3. enter ‘input c:\image\bigMethod.gs’[CR]
4. all fine!

 

But if I do the same with a batch file which uses the script loadBigMethod.tpz (attached),

The Topaz window opens, it stays there for about 10 seconds (the step 3 above took no time) and the crashes (Windows pops up with “the program does not work anymore…” or something like that (I have a German version).

 

Any idea?

Thanks

Christian,

Could you send me the full topaz log file? We need that to understand what might be going on ...

Thanks,

Dale

Hi,

 

are there any information about implementation limits of Gemstone Smalltalk?

 

Concrete issue:

I try to input a source file (2.1. MB – can this work?).

Topaz dies (Windows reports that Topaz is not working anymore…)

Last thing in the log file is a method with 743 literals – is this an issue?

My naïve theory: Gemstone (Topaz?) cannot compile the method, but dies without error.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

                Christian
