[racket] A strange DrRacket interaction
Hi All,
I have a case where a program doesn't behave the same
way in DrRacket and in command line racket. In DrRacket
I get an error from collects/racket/private/port.rkt:128:15:
write-bytes-avail: output port is closed
I am basically calling (system* "fpctest") where
fpctest is the result of compiling this program with fpc:
program fpctest;
var s:string;
begin
writeln('Enter string:');
readln(s);
writeln(s);
writeln('hello');
end.
The interaction in DrRacket is:
1. Input box appears
2. I enter abcdef
3. abcdef appears where the input box was displayed.
4. This error messages is displayed:
.../Racket v5.3.2/collects/racket/private/port.rkt:128:15:
write-bytes-avail: output port is closed
5. The following is displayed:
Enter string:
bcdef
hello
There are three things of interest:
1. The input box appears before "Enter string" is
written to the screen.
(Is this the Pascal program misbehaving?)
2. The error that points to a private file, which
seems odd.
3. The a is missing from the output of the
Pascal program.
Running the program from command line racket
seems to work every time.
Once in while (say 1 out of 10 times) it works in DrRacket too.
Any ideas what can explain what I see?
