possible problem with conew or me

[Thomas McGuire]

The encoder code from picoGPT-in-j has the following statement for creating an instance of the encoder:

encoder =: MODELS_DIR conew ‘encoder'

If I run this line there is the usual progress messages and it completes. Now when I look a what encoder is storing I see:

encoder

┌─┐

│0│

└─┘

I can now use the functions in the encoder object as follows:

encode__encoder each 4 {. storylist

this will work and I will get back the expected lists of integers

Now when I try to set up a locale for the regex library and I use the following:

rgx =: conew ‘jregex’

rgx

┌─┐

│2│

└─┘

and then if I try to compile a pattern with the locale: phandle =: rxcomp__rgx pat J crashes.

However if I use this form:

rgx =: 0&".@> conew ‘jregex’

rgx

3

the phandle =: rxcomp__rgx pat will work as expected

The only differences I detect is that the encoder code has create and destroy code, the regex code does not. Because of the create verb the encoder conew involves a parameter, where the regex code does not have a parameter.

Not sure why there is a difference except that the encoder code was written to be object oriented but the regex code was not.

Integer locale#s should be equivalent to the boxed numeric strings, except a little faster.  I cannot replicate the problem you report on Windows.  Can you give a script that crashes, starting from a clean J session?
