Hi Eric,

Decided to bootstrap the latest Gobo with se, but that didn't
work. What version of se is actually still supported? I'm happy to
move to ge, but I don't have the experience of reliability I had with
se, so it would be nice of se somehow still kept working.

It should be fixed now.

1.2r7

As you may have noticed, I don't use SE 1.2 anymore. I'm not really
interested in a compiler that does not say clearly that it will target
ECMA Eiffel. Sooner or later we will have to drop it like we did for
Visual Eiffel because of that. Furthermore, the SE compiler crashes
on me when I put Agents in assertions. So it's not that reliable to
me. It's probably easy to fix, but its maintenance is currently dead
until resurrected, whenever that happens. The Gobo compiler is probably
less reliable and complete than SE 1.2, but I'm actively working on it
and I'm fixing bugs as they occur.

I too have just encountered a problem with it:

****** Fatal Error: Error inside multi-line manifest string.
Line 5 column 3 in XM_XPATH_ITEM_MAPPING_FUNCTION (/home/colin/gobo/library/xml/xpath/expression/xm_xpath_item_mapping_function.e) :
                "[
                ^
Line 7 column 7 in XM_XPATH_ITEM_MAPPING_FUNCTION (/home/colin/gobo/library/xml/xpath/expression/xm_xpath_item_mapping_function.e) :
             Such objects, when given an XM_XPATH_ITEM, generate
             ^

The header concerned looks like this:

indexing

	description:

		"[
        Objects that can be passed to an XM_XPATH_ITEM_MAPPING_ITERATOR.
	     Such objects, when given an XM_XPATH_ITEM, generate
	     zero or one items.
      ]"

	library: "Gobo Eiffel XPath Library"

ISE 6.0 is happy with it.

I agree. And I'll spend more time on compiling ge versions of my
programs.

As a workaround you might try to indent all lines of the string
with the same number of tabs.

It doesn't help.
