Code:

That Feeling When...

...you run into compiler bugs that prevent successfully compiling your library...

While testing some advanced features of the parsing library in preparation for the next step toward building causerie, this is exactly what happened: an obscure bug with the Free Pascal runtime that seems to defy debugging with GDB and which crashes the program every time it runs. (If you're really interested to know, it seems to have something to do with the way that TObject handles memory allocation).

It's proven to be a rather large setback for causerie, but it isn't the end of the world. I was already developing a C interface for the libraries, to make them as portable as possible, and if all else fails I can expand upon that to take the whole thing into C. I'll have more information here soon.
