Cobra Forums

Cobra has an option to embed its run-time library in the resulting program so that there is no external Cobra.Lang.dll needed. However, there has been a bug for some time, described in ticket:3, in which the "Cobra.Lang" namespaces would collide from the embedded and non-embedded (or 2 DLLs with embedded). Now fixed.

To try this feature, say:

cobra -ert:yes MyProg.cobra

You'll notice that the .exe gets bigger:

>cobra hello
Hello, world.

>dir hello.exe
12/24/2008 03:09 AM 4,096 hello.exe


>cobra -ert:yes hello
Hello, world.

>dir hello.exe
12/24/2008 03:10 AM 135,168 hello.exe


>cobra -ert:yes -turbo hello
Hello, world.

>dir hello.exe
12/24/2008 03:12 AM 90,112 hello.exe


Try it out and let me know if you have any problems.

it seems the install-from-workspace script performs

Code: Select all

run: cobra.exe -ert:no hello

which give

Code: Select all

manual instructions work as expected

"cobra -bsl" for building the standard library is somehow the culprit. After this command:

copy Cobra.Lang-previous.dll Cobra.Lang.dll

I was able to run "cobra -ert:no hello" again.

Will fix.

Fixed.

"cobra -bsl" was mangling the Cobra.Lang namespace name which caused all manner of havoc. Easy fix.
