Maybe it's the smaller archive space? I had that problem after compiling too many prgms, and a GarbageCollect worked fine.

Yes - garbage collecting seems to work wonders.  I find that whenever I get a mysterious error that never happened before, garbage collecting usually clears things up.
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Code: [Select]
input acts funnily...
prgmBASIC
[code=BASIC]Input "THE GAME: ",A
prgmAXE when compiled
Code: (Axe) [Select]
inputRunning these two programs in the order given, My screen will look like this:
prgmBASIC
THE GAME: 1337
            Done
Asm(prgmAXE
THE GAME:

In addition, pressing 2nd+Quit will quit the program, causing memory leaks, and it may be the same for 2nd+Off (haven't tried yet)[/code]
Edit: Weird formatting errors. Can't fix.

I think this has been reported already?  Surely there has been many a but with the input command and stuff before it x.x seems like a common bug

I'm not sure, it might have been.
At any rate I'm bumping it ;D

Well apparently the buffer where the input string is stored is not a temporary variable so a bcall to _CleanAll doesn't clear it.  I will have to find the name of that string.  The buffer for the input is named "-" and I've seen a "#" and "$" so I'm guessing it's something similar to that.

There isn't a way to fix the memory leaks since this is an OS call.

Are the mem leaks TI fault? It might be best to use a different input routine then if it can cause issues during game run time x.x (although I guess that might produce larger executables, rigth?). Good luck with the current input routine for now, though.

But even if it does work, you should probably report your "mysterious error." Might be a bug in Axe.

I doubt it.  The 'mysterious errors' usually only occur after I try running a normal, tested program after doing something incredibly stupid with my calculator.  (As in, I mess up with pointers and accidentally write a bunch of data to random places).  It's probably not Axe's fault.

As you are probably aware, there is a leak-free (or less so) version of _GetKey, undocumented and called _GetKeyRetOff ;D
I wonder if something similar exists for the input bcall...
Good luck making it work! :)

Ah. Yeah, I accidentally do that pretty often, giving me random tokens in the middle of my program :D

If it's undocumented, does it means it won't work on the Nspire, though? I think Quigibo is aiming for full Nspire compatibility with the exception of the Full command.

Yeah this is why it's better to reset every now and then x.x
