Crash in 1.73, Windows

ruby-talk

Hi,

An application I’m creating crashes ruby 1.73 (I’m using the windows
distribution from Pragmatic Programmers).
The lines where the crash occurs (at least that’s what the message
says) are:

def float_translator (str)
str.gsub(/([\d+-.]+) (+ | -) (\d*) (| | $)/ix){$1 + ‘E’ + $2 +
$3 + $4}.to_f
end

Bye,
Maurício

What libraries are you using? I’ve seen a similar problem with FXRuby,
and it goes away when you GC.disable, so it looks like a mark/free bug.

Well, it's best if you give a *small* script which reproduce the error.

I just installed the pragmatic programmers distribution, and didn’t
add anything else. I’ll try GC.disable and see what happens.

Sorry, I didn’t had the time. I’ll try that as soon as I can and send
to the newsgroup.
