DrRacket 7, running on Windows 10 version 1803 I've been working on a GUI program that needs to show a table of data, the columns of which change according to checkbox selections. The checkboxes are arranged in several groups, each of which has "All" and "None" buttons to allow quick checking and clearing of all buttons in that group.
If I stress the program a bit by punching checkboxes and buttons more or less randomly, it eventually fails. I was able to come up with a smaller program that exhibits the same behavior. I've attached it to this message. Running it from the command line with errortrace gives the most information. $ racket -l errortrace -t failure.rkt ptr-ref: contract violation expected: (and/c cpointer? (not/c (lambda (p) (pointer-equal? p #f)))) given: #f argument position: 1st other arguments...: #<ctype:scheme> errortrace...: C:\Users\danm\Documents\Racket\NMSRecipes\failure.rkt:124:6: (new message% (parent column) (label (number->string item))) C:\Users\danm\Documents\Racket\NMSRecipes\failure.rkt:123:4: (for ((item column-data)) (new message% (parent column) (label (number->string ....)))) C:\Users\danm\Documents\Racket\NMSRecipes\failure.rkt:130:4: (make-column (format "Column ~a" i) (list-ref column-data i)) C:\Users\danm\Documents\Racket\NMSRecipes\failure.rkt:129:2: (for ((i selected-indexes)) (make-column (format "Column ~a" i) (list-ref column-data i))) Sometimes it can take a while to get the error; it's quite random. I'm usually running it in DrRacket, but I've also tried it as a standalone executable, with the same result. The DrRacket IDE isn't quite right after this happens, either. The program will fail (with the same error) immediately, if I can even restart it. Sometimes a separate black window opens, showing a similar error. The IDE usually cannot be exited normally. Most of the text editing functions still work, though. Suggestions for workarounds are welcome. I'd be happy to open an issue on GitHub, but wanted to first get opinions on whether there's something wrong with my code. Also, I'm not sure which of the Racket projects it rightly belongs to, since the error reporting doesn't usefully refer to anything outside of my own code. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
