When trying to run the front page code samples, it regularly
bugs out.
This is the first time I've tried in ages, but of the first 4
samples I tried, none worked.
The example with:
// D is like...
crashes with:
unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory
The example with:
// RPN calculator
simply outputs:
-- No output --
The example with:
// Get your local weather report
crashes with:
Compilation output (9: Killed)
The example with:
// Computes average line length for standard input.
wait, it works?! Output:
Average line length: 82
Yay, success!
Anyway, I said I'd put this here in case this isn't a known
issue.
Personally I'd rather no ability to run code live than the
current situation, it just looks quite bad - especially now as
theres quite a bit of interest in D being generated around.
Thanks for reporting it. It is a known issue that has to do
with the version of D used with the plugin that displays the
code.
If you want to report other issues consider searching the forum
to check that it hasn't already been addressed and (even
better) use the bug tracker at http://issues.dlang.org/ . This
way problems have more chances of getting fixed.
Yeah, I should have checked the bug tracker.
Bug report here:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12210
Still - I hope having this here on the forum might raise
awareness.
Sadly, I don't know the internals of dlang.org, nor do I have the
time to get to know it, to help fix this.
