Hi Laurent: Thanks for your offer to help. Sorry I was busy with another project but now I get back to MacRuby. I have attached a file that causes the assertion error when loaded by the require command. Probably there is something else I need to change when porting from Ruby-Cocoa. Than

Hi Robert, The problem is line 68, the call to autorelease. If you remove it it should load again. The reason is that autorelease (like release and retain) are ignored selectors of the runtime. Clearly we should not crash this way, I will fix that. Also, keep in mind that retain, release

Hi Robert, The problem here is dealloc. Same reason, dealloc is ignored by the runtime, and you should not use it in MacRuby, it will never be called. I just fixed macruby to not crash in case autorelease or dealloc is used, but keep in mind that using these selectors won't do anything. L

Hi Conrad, The thing is, MacRuby is built on top of the ObjC GC, so there is currently no way you can not use it :) In the future we might introduce a mode where MacRuby doesn't use this GC, but it's all tentative. Laurent On Sep 23, 2009, at 3:58 PM, Conrad Taylor wrote: Laurent, I und

Sorry, I don't know if I missed something or not. Currently MacRuby has a GC (as does Ruby) and it is based on Obj-C's GC. This means that code pulled in to MacRuby MUST be GC currently. In my opinion this isn't horrible or extremely difficult as you can compile frameworks as -fobjc-gc inst
