Having trouble with a bit of code.
« on: November 14, 2011, 10:44:06 pm »
I just started messing with Axe Parser today, as it looks to be a pretty good way to develop better programs quick for the 83/84.

I have a program that, when tested on my test systems (wabbitemu running an 84+SE with OS 2.43 and an nSpire in 84+ mode running 2.56MP) causes catastrophic failures. It is being compiled at normal speed, no shell, with Axe Parser 1.05. On wabbitemu, it exits and leaves the calculator with 0 memory remaining. On the nSpire, it basically hung after I tried to exist. On both systems, it didn't do what I designed it to do. The program is here: http://www.pastie.org/private/atcxyiyf76wxevaa804ibg.

Honestly, I don't ever use Output(). I use Fix 1 for large font and the Text() function, so I've never really bothered to figure out the Output command syntax.

Hmm, as far as I can tell it should work.  I'm probably missing the same thing you are. :-\

I'd try that instead, but my nSpire is stuck right now and I can't get it to reset. The Axe Parser compiler crashes on wabbitemu, so I can't try there.

EDIT: It might also be that these emulators don't work well enough, but I don't think that's it if the Axe Parser manual recommends developing on wabbit.

Try pulling a battery out of the Nspire.  That should fix it.

I have tried that, it doesn't work. I get pulled back to the exact same place I was before taking the batteries out.

Huh.  Try taking out all four batteries, or one out from each side, or something like that.

No success. I'll see what I can do once I get my touchpad back.

There's supposed to be a key combination to force a reset when the little reset button behind the calc or a battery pull doesn't work, but I forgot what it was. Hopefully somebody knows.

Also welcome to the forums. :)

I don't own an nspire, but once when I bricked a friend's nspire (by accident, I swear!) it would only reset after I held down the reset button in the hole for like 10-15 secs.  Pressing briefly didn't seem to trigger the full reset.

You have SMC (Self modifying code) on your hands here. It will crash if its an app. you are writing to the GDB1 pointer, which is stored in your program's memory. Try this instead:

He is correct. In axe, when you do data(blargh...)->GBD1, the data is stored in the program, not to another var. Your code was trying to edit data in itself. However, since it is an app, it can't.

Now you're wrong. He said it was a no shell program.

Hm, does calling Full on the Nspires cause any problems?
