It should, can you try that again with the full path and --debug-flx? I just tried an absolute path and it worked (but my version is probably a bit newer). ~/felix>cat hello.flx println$ "Hello"; assert false; ~/felix>build/release/host/bin/flx --test=/Users/johnskaller/felix/build/release hello Setting FLX_INSTALL_DIR from /Users/johnskaller/.felix/config/felix.fpc FLX_INSTALL_DIR='/usr/local/lib/felix/felix-latest' Hello terminate called after throwing an instance of 'flx::rtl::flx_assert_failure_t' Shell terminated by signal SIGABRT ~/felix>cd .. ~>felix/build/release/host/bin/flx --test=/Users/johnskaller/felix/build/release felix/hello Setting FLX_INSTALL_DIR from /Users/johnskaller/.felix/config/felix.fpc FLX_INSTALL_DIR='/usr/local/lib/felix/felix-latest' Hello terminate called after throwing an instance of 'flx::rtl::flx_assert_failure_t' Shell terminated by signal SIGABRT <aside> here, the FLX_INSTALL_DIR diagnostics show I have a $HOME/.felix/config/felix.fpc file, however the --test overrides that (its a temporary diagnostic :) The terminate message is a bug. I don't know exactly what. It should show a Felix and C++ location of the assertion failure. The right exception is thrown, doesn't look like it is caught by the driver. </aside> I agree completely when the tools fail its a serious PITA for the programmer and certainly doesn't encourage new players. However .. there's only one way to debug the tools on many platforms in many environments .. and thats for many people to try it out. One thing I simply cannot do alone. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
