I think its more likely that {Y1+offset} evaluated to 0 meaning it would have copied the entire 65536 bytes of RAM which would certainly cause an instant crash.

No, that's only a small fragment of the program. It would crash the moment I ran the program. That code doesn't get run until you select an item to process.

What I meant is that doing something like {Y1+{Y1+9}+10}r doesn't work. Seriously, create a program whose contents is
Code: [Select]
:.SOMENAME
:{Y1+{Y1+9}+10}r . Don't bother saving the result.It should read a random word and do nothing, right? It crashes.

Ah yes I found it thanks.  I was storing the "Is File" boolean in a variable instead of the operator stack and that made file references non-nestable.  I'll have that fixed next version.

Maybe I found a bug:

If you have no PRGM with axe language on your TI and you press enter, the display contrast will become darker, The screen is upside down, strange symbols on screen, Error Memory, Ramclear.
I've had it two times yet.

(because I hadn't known that I should have been making a PRGM with axe language first)

That most certainly is a major bug, and a great find! I always have Axe source code on my calculator so never noticed this before.

Here I've descriped it exactly.

I hope someone could do against it.

(Other programmers wouldn't be so happy, if all their programs are deleted by the ramclear.

Maybe I've found another problem: :)


with Axe EVERYONE could program an APP like this, send it someone else and start it:

.MEGAMAN
:disp ("AN ERROR HAS ACCOUNTED")
:pause 2000000000000


That would be a problem, because you just jan take out the batteries, and that will be a ramclear or worse. :-\

Numbers in Axe are limited to 2-byte values, so 0-65535. Compiling will fail upon reaching a number greater than this.

Also, it's not a bug that people can create malicious code with Axe. You can create malicious code with any language, but because Axe is powerful, you can create powerfully malicious code.

And don't do like people did last year. Instead, this time, backup your projects before trying the code above.

That's a good point. Someone could embed a call to the Clear All Memory OS routine. Or even the boot code self test.

I can't seem to replicate that no-axe-source bug.  I'm looking at the source code where this problem would be, but I don't see anything suspicious.  Can someone explain starting from a RAM clear how to reproduce it?  It probably depends on what's in the program or something, I've tried 5 different BASIC programs (and all together) and none of them do it.
