# Failed
|
||
|
|
||
|
The application ran your source text through the Inform 7 compiler, as usual,
|
||
|
but the compiler unexpectedly failed. This should not happen even if your source
|
||
|
text is gibberish, so you may have uncovered a bug in the program.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When a program like the I7 compiler fails, it typically returns an error number:
|
||
|
this time, the number was 10, and that probably indicates that the compiler
|
||
|
failed to manage its data structures properly. Perhaps you created a complicated
|
||
|
situation on which it has not been fully tested.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The best option now is probably to reword whatever was last changed and to try
|
||
|
again. Subsequent attempts will not be affected by the failure of this one, so
|
||
|
there is nothing to be gained by restarting the application or the computer. A
|
||
|
failed run should never damage the source text, so your work cannot be lost.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you think it likely that the Inform 7 compiler is at fault, please check that
|
||
|
you have the currently distributed build of the system: if you have, please
|
||
|
consider taking the time to fill out a bug report at the Inform bug tracker
|
||
|
(www.inform7.com/bugs). If you think the fault may be due to a problem in an
|
||
|
extension you're using, then please contact the extension's author directly.
