World: r3wp

The "expr: " outputs code from Red/System source, not compiler source.

At least, you'll know which expression in your Red/System app is 
causing the issue.

I'll look into it when the errors are still there with your fixes

You can also send me the source code, and I'll do the internal debugging, 
it is probably a minor error.

If you want, you can compile the cURL binding for one

I've released a fix for your compilation issue.

Fixes released. Hope they will fix your issues too. I won't be able 
to work on Red tonight, so if more fixes are needed, that will be 
for tomorrow.

Thanks, cURL works again

It took me a day to hook up a (quit) signal to a GTK program. GTK 
is incredibly bloated

I can now load a GDK image and set it as the GTK window icon

Now I can add a text label to the window

And now a button with an associated action callback

I've bound the line entry field, but I'm having serious problems 
with crashing callbacks in both GTK and SDL

I'm going to return to cURL for a while to see if I can trigger the 
problem there

A regression in today's commit or an older issue?

No, it's probably always been this way, at least since I started 
the SDL binding

If you can send me a short sample, I can do some investigations.

I've only done very small things with callbacks so far. The somewhat 
bigger transfers in cURL were directly to files, with its own internal 
callbacks

Yes, if I can trigger it in cURL, that would currently be the most 
accessible example

So far I suspected multithreading in SDL's sound playing, but it 
seems the problem is more fundamental

Doc: why UNTIL doesn't return a value. It can simply return TRUE, 
because if loop is over the last expression evaluated as TRUE. So 
it can always return TRUE. No?

Do you think that UNTIL returning always TRUE is useful?

Or I should rather ask if UNTIL returning always TRUE is more useful 
than returning nothing?

I'm not sure if this is possible in Red/System,

i: 0 wait-me: until [++ i i > 5]
;do something async and check wait-me also, to be at sync.

It would be useful if there would be a BREAK that would return FALSE

Kaj: agreed.

Kaj: Yes that is more useful.

And would be more compatible with REBOL as well.

Why don't you add it as a wish on github?

I didn't want to add it, before asking first. To not fill the list.

Done.

SDL drawing works again, and PeterPaint is now unencumbered by Red 
bugs

Finally implemented automatic buffer expansion on in-memory cURL 
receive operations

Thanks Endo

Hm, cURL has no problem with multiple callbacks

Tested now with downloads up to 56 MB, in diverse chunks from a few 
hundred bytes to 16 K

That means GTK is the simplest exhibit of the crashes. As far as 
I know, it's single-threaded, but maybe not

I've housed the GTK binding here:

It doesn't do much yet, but you can reference it for testing purposes

I had to go through the Blogger registration process again to post 
a comment

Anyway, there's a new commenter to the last article

Thanks for posting an answer while I wasn't available. I will add 
more to it today. Btw, I guess this is one of the two young coders 
that contacted me on IRC to help building Red. :-)

And thank for mentioning Red in your interview, once again, that 
boosted Red visibility significantly.

About Blogger: this platform is a real PIA in many ways. When I will 
have some time, I will look at how to move out, probably going to 
WordPress, or setting up my own blog using the script from Cheyenne's 
web site (I would need to integrate an anti-spam service like Akismet 
in such case).

I am proud to present my first Red/System dialect, for GTK. Here's 
an example of a window with a title, an icon, a label, an input field 
and a button with an associated action function:

I demonstrated it yesterday at SylCon

Hello World would be:

gtk-begin
gtk-view window [label "Hello, Red world!"]
