Out of string space #7

Open lildevilx opened 5 years ago

lildevilx commented 5 years ago

Hi Guys,

I've been having some issues ever since @robhagemans latest update I got that fix the fatal error issue (2.0.1). After a couple days of running I'll run into a "out of string space in 3453" on 2 of the instrument i've been running PCBRW on. Usually when this happens, it is because the RU (used to restart GWbasic to clear the memory leak) wasn't working properly. after the error shows up, went ahead typed list 3453 and got the following, Chain Merge C$+E$, 3454, ALL, DELETE 10000-65529 Hope that might be some useful information. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks!

Hello @lildevilx, is the RU a brewer program routine?, could you share it with us? regards.

Yes RU is a brewer routine, all it does is restart the environment help eliminate any memory leaks it was working fine prior to PCBasic 2.0.1

Hi @lildevilx, could you try to describe what it means for the RU not to work properly? It looks like a fairly simple bit of code so I'm trying to understand what's going wrong with it

Hi @robhagemans The issue is that the program we're trying to run has a known memory leak, and for us to get around that we decided to create a snip bit of code that would restart dosbox(which is what we've been using) environment to eliminate the memory built up in the program.

At least usually when we run into the issue of out of string space usually ties to the memory leak issue.

Hope that explains it a little better and sorry for the long reply.
