One of the primary reasons, as I understand it, for RS needing to
have spent time on the compiler was for maintainability. And I
think the results of that is very, very obvious. We have multiple
new targets in an amazingly short amount of time.
This seems like propaganda to me.
Maintainability of the compiler is not something you can call a
feature to advertise. I admit that the compiler is faster to compile
and maintainability can bring advantages.
But, if you talk about a new compiler, I'd expect to see a smart
optimized compiler and linker. Not something that still force me to
store the argument of a for...next cycle into a variable to avoid
calculation at every loop.
Not something that fails to determine correct plugin dependencies and
bloat my applications with unnecessary code.
And to do that it takes a ton of RAM and CPU time too.
Interesting. That's definitely not good. I'm wondering what the
culprit is. I haven't seen full IDE crashes on any of the three
platforms (and I use the pro version of all three on a daily basis).
I'm not meaning to trivialize your problems at all. I'm just
wondering what the difference is. Whether it be you using the IDE
in a different way than I... OS/language differences... something
about your setup, etc.
I really wonder if we are talking about the same tool.
There is a thread in this list (a couple of days old) about the
2006r4 IDE which crashes a lot. Seems I'm not the only experiencing
crashes.
I use RB primarily on Macintosh (various models) Mac OS X 10.4.8 -
English.
