What the heck just happened?
« on: October 29, 2011, 10:47:42 am »
I was compiling, and it asked me to "garbage collect". I pushed no, it said the archive was full, my axe backup was erased, and my source code was erased. I found it in the mem mgmt section, but it wasnt in the programs. If i click on the program in the mem mgmt, it tells me to garbage collect again. Yes or no? What happened?

If you don't garbage collect when the calc asks you to, you're going to have very little memory left. Try garbage collecting and see if that fixes the issue.

Run axe, and you will see the auto backuped files. Compile it. I think that should help.

It will.

All GarbageCollecting does is rearranging your ROM.  Basically, the calculator makes an extra copy of programs that you archive that was also archived a while ago.  All GarbageCollecting does is it deletes these extra copies.

Yeah, all that happens is that Axe tries to archive your backup, fails (because your archive is full and requires a GarbageCollect to clean it out), and Axe quits. Your source program is gone because Axe removed it at some point and hasn't gotten around to restoring it, and your backup appvar is there, but unarchived (so Axe doesn't recognize it).
