this is an exert of the code foor a game that I am writing.
(for [sprite self.sprites]
(if (!= (type sprite.content) NoneType)
(sprite.content.render)))
it complains about a parse error for pattern macro 'if': got unexpected end of input, expected: some(...), even though thus IS valid Hy code.
Ran with both Hy version 0.25.0 on PyPy, 0.24.0 and 0.25.0 on CPython. Still threw the same error. The code should not have thrown the error at all, because it was working perfectly fine yesterday, I come back today and it'd throw an error, despite no changes.
This is not, in fact, valid Hy code. As suggested by the error message, if requires a third argument. See the manual entry on if.
As for how this code could've been "working perfectly fine yesterday", I have no explanation, unless you were using a different version of Hy yesterday.

Sometimes I will get incorrect error-highlighting on a closing parenthesis or brace. Here is a good example using a function pointer:
Now, unless I have a syntax error that I'm not seeing (please point it out if so!), how would I get rid of this formatting? Is there a particular setting or perhaps syntax file where this can be fixed?
I've been using Haxe for a while and I'm debuging with the Windows target (OpenFL).
When I put a try/catch somewhere it just says for example "Null object reference" - it doesn't say the line number and the class, so I have to keep putting traces to find in which line it has thrown the error.
Can someone help me?
You might need to enable stack traces by adding the following define to your project.xml file if you're compiling in release mode:
<haxedef name="HXCPP_STACK_LINE" />
Also, you won't be able to catch null reference exceptions or get stack traces for them unless the following is defined (for performance reasons):
<haxedef name="HXCPP_CHECK_POINTER" />
With these two, you should see a stack trace in FlashDevelop's Output panel.
You can find some good info on these flags and hxcpp debugging in general here. You might also want to check out the crashdumper library.
I'm trying to get used to Emacs, I'm coding in C for my school. So, I installed flycheck to check for potential compliation errors. However, I encounter several problems. Here's the message I get when I test flycheck with the c/c++-gcc checker : flycheck buffer
I have two issues there : - first, flycheck claims the checker "returned a 1 exit code without errors" depsite the fact it actually did, and it's even displaying it right after ! - secondly, it does not seem to be able to display quotes correctly, the only thing displayed are their unicode escape sequences.
I can't find out why those issues are present. Can anybody help me on this ?
fixed both my problems by setting my environment language to UTF-8.
I'm writing C code and was initially using the gcc checker. Errors were reported in the C file. Lots of errors that didn't matter were being reported due to, for instance, no include directory switches on the gcc command line in the checker. Because we're using icc and it feels unwieldy to setup all of the parameters that are already setup in our makefile, I decided to switch over to using the make checker.
Upon switching to the make checker, I did not get any results. Looking at the makeprg command in make.vim, it is make -sk. I realized that our makefile was not setup to do syntax checking, so I created a new target called syntax_check that added the -fsyntax-only and -c flags. I then changed the make.vim makeprg command to make -sk clean syntax-check so that the appropriate target is run.
When I save the file I watched top in another window and saw that the build is occuring. However, I'm still getting no errors. By this, I mean I don't see the green sidebar indicating lines that did not have errors. Running :Errors does not bring up the location list.
Any ideas? And is my understanding of how to look at the generated errors in syntastic wrong (which it may very well be)?
As a side note for the question here, I've also got this question in on the Syntastic github page here.
It turns out that the errorformat was wrong for handling icc. This, of course, makes total sense.
The errorformat for icc that I've got so far is:
let errorformat = '%W%f(%l): %tarning #%n: %m,%E%f(%l): %trror: %m'
I will add more to this as I find errors that aren't covered by this format or find that I need different formatting.
I'm attempting to build Firefox on my Windows Vista Ultimate machine. I keep getting the following error:
nsinstall: Bad file number
I've read that this error is caused because of UAC in Vista. Here are the two articles that lead me to this conclusion. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope_Developer_Page#Windows_Vista and http://www.kevinbrosnan.net/mozilla-build-error-nsinstall-bad-file-number
Using the standard "Run as Administrator", I've attempted to redo my build but I get the exact same error. I also started a normal command prompt as admin and then went to the batch file in mozilla-build (start-msvc8.bat) and ran it. Still, same error at the same point.
Any other insights on how I might either get around this error or perhaps something else is causing the error?
Note: I also posted something here in the hopes to get topic-specific help but I've not heard a peep... After I posted that I found the info on nsinstall. Anyway, I prefer SO so I thought I'd try here...
Update: I've attempted to completly disable UAC to correct the problem as is suggested by cnemelkasr. I've received the exact same error. This new knowledge is making me think that a file or folder is missing... Does anyone who has experience with NSInstall know what the given error -- Bad file number -- might mean? I figure it might be referring to a file handle...
If it really is a UAC error, you can try turning off UAC altogether. I've had to do this for several packages. There are numerous places on the web to get the instructions for doing that.
http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm is one of them.
I found the answer to my question. I'm posting the answer here to share the answer with others and to close this question.
After disabling the UAC, it was suggested that the directory depth was interfering with NSInstall. I moved the folder from c:/Users/Frank/Documents/hg-repos/firefox-src-hgRepo/mozilla-fv-expirement/ to C:/mozilla-fv-expirement/. Cleaned all previous build attempts and finally redid my build (with UAC off) and I received a working debug binary.
The suggestion was posted at: mozilla.dev.builds
The "Bad file number" message in the cases I have seen, is caused by too many arguments passed to execvp (command, argv) (or similar) function. But only from some programs. An old bash, sh or a Borland/Watcom program in your PATH is an likely candidate.
So when you shorten the name of the build directory, the total size of the command line (that eventually gets passed to CreateProcess()) gets shorter. I don't think UAC has anything to do with this since I've seen this on Win-XP too. But it's a bit strange Mozilla would not use relative paths while building. I guess it uses some directory prefix value in it's makefiles (I've never tried building it).
If you look at the documentation for _execvp():

E2BIG is one of the possible errno values:
The space required for the arguments and environment settings exceeds 32 KB.
Now, here is the strange part.
Fact 1:
On Visual-C/MingW (any version), strerror(EBADF) doesn't return "Bad file number" .
(it return "Bad file descriptor").
Fact 2:
On Borland's CBuilder 5.6 and Watcom 1.9 (these do not use the MSVC runtime), strerror(EBADF) does indeed return "Bad file number".
Theory:
Is possible that Borland, Watcom (and other CRTs too?) mixes up the meaning of E2BIG and EBADF. Did that make any sense? Someone please correct me if you have a better theory.
I'm a bit confused myself...
Conclusion: Either shorten the size of your environment (easiest) or shorten the command-line (not always easy).
