perlito6.js "compiler spins" failure mode
I decided to let perlito6.js take it's own time compiling rc-forest-fire, but it never did stop. So I took a look at the output that was being captured from the compiler. This is what I found (a couple hundred MB of it when I finally stopped it):
Died: Missing value after operator >
Died: missing value after operator '*'
Died: Expected closing delimiter: ) near 352
Died: Unknown token: 'undefined'
Died: Expected closing delimiter: ) near 352
Died: Unknown token: 'undefined'
Died: Expected closing delimiter: ) near 352
Died: Unknown token: 'undefined'
# Above two lines repeat forever ...
Even if it can't handle such a complex compile yet, can the infinitely looping failure be fixed at least?
