Crash: Memory access out of range when getting a list of values from a rulebook

Hey everyone. I’ve encountered a bug while working in the weeds of Inform 7 and I’m not sure if it’s been reported before. I tried checking the Mantis bug tracker at this link but I’m only seeing a blank page. I also found this thread detailing a similar bug but it doesn’t seem to have been resolved. Background I’m trying to rework the quest log in The Weight of a Soul to generate a list of texts, separated by subcategory. The subcategories are defined as Inform 7 objects. This is so that I c…

Truncation of long words in input and BlkValueWrite error

Hi! I’m writing my own parsing routines for a menu system and I just got confused by this (non-fatal) run-time error: *** BlkValueWrite: writing to index out of range: 22 in 697450 *** *** BlkValueWrite: writing to index out of range: 23 in 697450 *** The below isn’t to reproduce the issue (the full code is long). But these lines cut from the code give you some idea what I’m doing. let C be "[the player's command]"; repeat with CWI running from 1 to the number of words in C: let commandWor…

The following had already been an old mantis bug: I7-1746 and has been fixed. (I tried it.)

Difference of kinds? (also, illegal object number in a relation)

Hello! I’m working on a heavily simulationist story set in the Belgian resistance to Nazi occupation in WW2. It includes a lot of procedurally generated NPCs who can speak different languages and belong to one faction or another. Some kinds of clothing are identified with factions; for example, a gendarme’s tunic represents the Belgian police. Also, non-civilians can order one another around; because this is an occupied country, this means that German NCOs can order the police to do things. Cur…

Operation of HeapMakeSpace() under Glulx?

This definitely is a real problem. Here’s some code to demonstrate the issue: "6M62 Heap Expansion Issue Under Glulx" Place is a room. To allocate a dead block of size (N - number): (- FlexAllocate({N}, 0); -). To allocate a heap-consuming block: (- FlexAllocate(MEMORY_HEAP_SIZE-16, 0); -). To heap debug full: (- HeapDebug(true); -). When play begins: say "STARTUP[line break]"; heap debug full; allocate a heap-consuming block; say "[line break]FULLY USED[line br…

Operation of HeapMakeSpace() under Glulx?

The following demonstrates that the current definition of HeapInitialise() in Flex.i6t sets up the first free block of the heap in a location that overwrites the value of -->BLK_NEXT for the head free block: "6M62 Heap Setup Issue Under Glulx" Place is a room. L is a list of numbers that varies. To decide which number is head free block prev pointer: (- Flex_Heap-->BLK_PREV -). To decide which number is head free block next pointer: (- Flex_Heap-->BLK_NEXT -). To decide which numbe…
