Unfriendly Crash

[jcburley]

I tried running a program that expected at least one argument, without providing arguments, and got this:

$ ./cljc
GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by -4096 bytes
GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by -4096 bytes
GC Warning: Out of Memory! Heap size: 0 MiB. Returning NULL!
Segmentation fault

Seems a little unfriendly. Perhaps there's a reasonable way to avoid this and do something more elegant instead?

Here's the source (it'll look familiar):

(ns cljc.user)

(defn -main
  [arg & args]
  (println "Here are your args:")
  (flush)
  (apply println (cons arg args)))

I'm sorry, I haven't touched this project in years and don't have any time to sink into it right now. If you're interested in maintaining it you have my blessings.

Thanks, I am considering that! Is there much interest in it?

Not that I know. It would be nice if it built and the basics worked, at least, but to make it useful a LOT of work would have to be done. This is barely an out-of-date proof of concept.

...and yet it's already quite awesome! Do you have a pointer to notes about the design, what's needed, pet peeved, etc.? And/or, perhaps we could live-chat about it sometime?
