Gary, "Virus" was joke of course, however I changed the name on gist. I doubt it is a hotcocoa issue, but as soon as I have some time will try to replicate it with an IB version. What do you mean by "where you got it" ? The code is mine, I was trying to do something along the lines of this http://www.nongnu.org/gstutorial/en/ch13s04.html. By the way, do you know where can I find a working drag&drop macruby example ? Enzo On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 11:17 PM, Gary Weaver <gary.weaver@duke.edu> wrote:
Enzo,
It might be a translation issue, but I wouldn't call that a virus (it doesn't replicate, it is just something that freezes your computer). I wouldn't call it "Virus" in the gist either, if I were you.
If it is a bug in HotCocoa, than it may be a bug (or at least undesired functionality if it freezes your Mac) in MacRuby or OS X, so you might want to dig deeper and provide more info on version (and where you got it, since it is in various places in GitHub) of HotCocoa.
Thanks! Gary

Hi all, I was trying to add drag & drop capabilities to a hotcocoa program and stumbled into a problem that really puzzles me: a macruby program can freeze your mac !
I uploaded the buggy fragment here: https://gist.github.com/893300
Don't run it unless you are prepared to reboot your machine the hard way, don't even "Force quit" works. In the instructions I say to launch it twice, but every drag & drop with any app after the crash freezes the app.
I'm using macruby 0.9, tried 0.10 but hotcocoa does not work with it (but this is another story !)
Hope someone can tell me if I did something wrong or found a bug somewhere.
