Re: 'Select' errors for a deferred class, Vision2 gec compilation problems

Hi Eric,

I have since done a git merge from the current gobo-eiffel on GitHub,
with the last reconciliation done more than a year ago, so this may have
been fixed, and I will do some further checking on the currency of the
problem.

In the meantime, since updating to using EiffelStudio version 7.0.8.8074
and attempting to compile [today] with gec, compiling with my 'guide'
version and gec [albeit from ~ 15-June-2011], I get a syntax error in
the class EV_COMBO_BOX:

Syntax error:
line 113 column 51 in /data/Eiffel70/library/vision2/interface/widgets/primitives/ev_combo_box.e
		ensure
			text_set: check_text_modification ({STRING_32} "", a_text.as_string_32)
			                                               ^
		end

With other projects on the go, working with the vision2 code has lagged,
but I will be getting back to that shortly ...

Regards,

Howard

Did you manage to understand what the problem was?
What version of EiffelVision2 did you use? I already compiled
classes from EiffelVision2 with Gobo in the past, and never
saw this kind of problem.
