Extensions for Debugging

[vaporware (Tara McGrew)]

I’ve just now found out about this, and it looks amazing. Kudos!

I haven’t dug very far into it yet, but I’m excited to learn how it works and to what extent it can be supported on Guncho. (Good news: full control over the build process and VM. Bad news: no Glk.)

I finally got around to trying this!

Unfortunately, even though I downloaded the March 10th package, I’m still getting an error that looks like what Ron got:

In Book “Binary Input File Streams”, Chapter “Public Binary Input File Stream Accessors and Mutators” in the extension Binary Input Files by Brady Garvin:

Problem. You defined an adjective by ‘has a non-null stream id’ intending that it would apply to ‘a binary input file stream’: but this isn’t a thing, a kind of thing or a kind of value, and indeed doesn’t have any meaning I can make sense of.

Is this a variation on the same problem? Is there a newer build that I should get? Should I take files from the svn repository you linked to?

Oops, sorry I missed your post. Indeed, that looks like a variation on the same problem. Can you post how you’re including the extensions?

I’m afraid that the current development snapshot will only give you an awkward, undocumented chimera (I’m in the middle of reworking the UI) without doing anything to address your problem. It’s on my list, though I’m hoping for a fix to Inform bug 666 that will simplify or resolve the issue.
