0001047: Monitor

Flexible variables need responsive monitoring

0001202: Mac OS X build failing with fatal and "veryFatal" errors

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 17:46:49 +0000

At the 2nd stage ecere build, I get several errors in the form of "could not resolve value ErrorCode ... for enum ... in precompiler".

I have verified that I have the latest XCode and XQuartz installed, and set the environment variables to existing paths.

I also tried building and installing libffi first, but that didn't work either.

(Unfortunately, I only have access to the Mac twice a week for a few hours.)

0001248: Arguments of virtual method are not evaluated if method is null

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 10:49:38 +0000

e.g., in

a.compute(args[numArgs++], evaluator, computeType, stylesClass);

numArgs++ does not happen if a is null or if compute() is still null from an abstract class.

0001247: Folder path in .epj project duplicates name

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 18:27:04 +0000

For example, in order to set up a parent folder in project to hold 'extras' from $(ECERE_SDK_SRC)/extras, where files inside can be specified with a short name, the 'extras' part must be duplicated as e.g.,
"Folder" : "$(ECERE_SDK_SRC)/extras/extras"

Currently, this seems to allow to name the folder something different than its actual name, where the last (non-existing) path component is the name e.g.,

"Folder" : "$(ECERE_SDK_SRC)/extras/foo".

However, changing the name before the path in the ProjectView folder property box will immediately lose the path (without a way to revert).
The path need to be changed last for this to work.

All this logic is counter-intuitive.
Perhaps we should have a separate "FolderName" property and use the proper actual path?

And fix the behavior that changing name loses the path.

0001246: Map::firstIterator.data does not work as expected

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 06:15:01 +0000

Map::firstIterator seems currently typed as a MapNode, while in fact it returns the MapNode's data.

Map::firstIterator.data.key or Map::firstIterator.data.value therefore does not return what is expected.

0001243: Missing grammar.y update after changing RESTRICT

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 11:13:35 +0000

On this commit https://github.com/ecere/ecere-sdk/commit/61090b7b04d88ff76c9f66eff72aeb063cebc262 it seems that it was forgotten to also update grammar.y till today, actually we have the references bellow on grammar.y but no mention for recognizing "RESTRICT" tokens on the lexer.

I found this while trying to generate railroad diagram for the grammar through https://www.bottlecaps.de/convert/ and https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui .

====
storage_class_specifier
::= 'typedef'
| 'extern'
| 'static'
| '__thread'
| 'auto'
| 'register'

0001244: Use after free on compiler/libec/src/pass2.ec

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 13:39:49 +0000

Trying to figure out why I was getting segfault when building the samples/net/browser I disabled memory pool and rebuild everything in debug mode and then run ecc under valgrind on places it was failing and valgrind pointed out the use after free in compiler/libec/src/pass2.ec::_FixRefExp when called from compiler/libec/src/pass2.ec::FixRefExp see bellow:
====
static Expression FixRefExp(Expression exp)
{
if(exp.type == opExp)
{
_FixRefExp(&exp, &exp.op.exp1);
_FixRefExp(&exp, &exp.op.exp2); //<< }
else if(exp.type == indexExp)
_FixRefExp(&exp, &exp.index.exp);
else if(exp.type == memberExp)
_FixRefExp(&exp, &exp.member.exp);
return exp;
}

0001242: Setting breakpoint after debugging stopped still validates against old code

Sun, 27 Jun 2021 01:52:08 +0000

The IDE validates breakpoints against previous execution even though they have stopped.
This annoyingly results in a new breakpoint being moved even though it is valid for the new execution.
We really should completely release GDB and start fresh after execution has stopped.

0000841: Conversion properties and Heap classes!!

Conversion properties and Heap classes!!

0001241: GetKeyState(control) does not return true on a Ctrl+Click if the application was not in focus

Sat, 05 Jun 2021 20:18:41 +0000

This is particularly annoying in TimeTracker

0001240: Fix confusion about -Wl, or no -Wl, linker flags

Tue, 04 May 2021 17:32:32 +0000

It seems that some flags require -Wl, while others do not.
Clarify this for both project and global compiler settings, so that users can appropriately and easily specify any flags.

0001239: Do not overwrite Makefile for no reason

Tue, 04 May 2021 17:30:45 +0000

This is really annoying when trying to manually tweak Makefile to test things manually.

Implement a timestamp check: don't update the Makefile if it exists and the compiler settings / project wasn't modified later than that Makefile's timestamp.

0001238: Incorrect Class generated for class deriving from Map in MemoryGuard configuration

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:04:39 +0000

Instances of classes of the form class OwnerMap : Map can have a wrong type specification stored in the _class member, resulting in a crash when assignigng a value as in myMap["id"] = ProcessInfo {};
{ when adding
~OwnerMap()
{
Free();
}
}
Is expected to be used as;

OwnwerMap myMap {};

0001236: ProcessingInput.value.OnFree() does NOT clear actual value inside input; but it should

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 00:28:40 +0000

Example:
ProcessingInput input;
input.value = { type = { text, mustFree = true }, s = CopyString("someString") };
input.value.OnFree(); // this call does NOT clear actual value inside
input.value = { }; // this line is a work-around solution in order to clear value inside; but it should be necessary to have this line once
// this issue is fixed

0001237: Duplicate enum declarationof enum types should be flag by compiler

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 16:45:21 +0000

Example below would allow 2 entries of duplicate "a", the compiler should produce an error:

enum SomeEnum
{
none, a,a
};

0001232: IDE Code Editor Freeze

0001230: Assigning to data member inside thisless method creating instance misses declaring data struct for class

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 23:15:10 +0000

In tested scenario, the data member being assigned was private, and also had a public property named the same, with only a get and no set.
To confirm whether this is required to reproduce the problem.

The C compiler error message is:

error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct ClassName’

Assigning to a data member of the class elsewere avoids the issue, e.g.

__attribute__((unused)) static void eCBugWorkAround() { ClassName d { }; d.foo = 0; }

0001227: System include paths are not being passed to C++ compiler

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 13:10:15 +0000

-isystem is not being passed to g++.

0000371: Autocomplete & Watches inside new features (struct, enum... (Loop through methods...))

Autocomplete & Watches inside new features (struct, enum... (Loop through methods...))

0001224: Improper generated code

Wed, 22 Apr 2020 06:08:13 +0000

This line:

TSZoomLevel lev = levels[Max(0, Min(level, levels.count-1))];

Is not equivalent as it should be to:

int ll = Max(0, Min(level, levels.count-1));
TSZoomLevel lev = levels[ll];

0001223: Facilitate selecting proper command to use for linking (especially for C++)

Thu, 09 Apr 2020 02:09:17 +0000

- Being able to select on a project basis whether to use $(CC), $(LD) or $(CXX) to link the projects
- Facilitate proper C++ options to use (e.g. -fno-exceptions, -lstdc++) based on whether the project intends to use the C++ standard library or not.
- Also fix properly setting LD upon installation or creation of default/new compiler configuration (default to 'gcc' or 'ld').

0001221: On Demand Freelance Marketplace

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 08:59:34 +0000

Field Service Management has a crucial role in maintaining Network Field Engineer as they are responsible for planning, installing, testing, and maintaining the equipment to run a proper communication network. Their general duties include the maintenance and repair of equipment and construction of towers to ensure optimal performance. A telecom engineer’s job involves the use of various tools such as interconnect devices, network facilities, and radios. A field engineer also works with engineers from other fields for equipment installation and then report to the upper management.

A Field Service engineer should have some experience with telecommunication systems and at least a two-year degree for telecommunication field technician jobs. Telecom field engineering is a very demanding job because they have to work long hours and have to show up as soon as they receive a call when they’re not on the job. A field engineer also needs to work in high-stress scenarios and repair the equipment till the service is restored.
