Folks,
I have been doing a LOT of documentation work the past
couple of days, and after a rough start I have gotten
whole directories of files to compile without warning
messages from IDLDoc, version 3.3. I believe I am
starting to know what I am doing.
So, this afternoon I turned my attention to updating
my ActiveContour software. I marked up all the files
with rst mark-up, and when I was finished I executed
the very same idldoc command I have been using all
week:
IDL> idldoc, $
root='c:\idl\activecontour\source', $
output='c:\idl\activecontour\source\activecontourdocs', $
title='Coyote Graphics Active Contour Routines', $
subtitle= 'Date: ' + Systime(), /NoSource
Only this time, I get the following error:
Copying resources...
Parsing .\...
Parsing testapplication.pro...
% IDLDOC: Array dimensions must be greater than 0.
If I remove testapplication.pro, it fails on the next
file. In fact, it won't work with *any* file in the
directory. Which leads me to conclude something
else is wrong. Does anyone have any clues?
Thanks,
David

OK, I have a fix that works for Sebastion (both for the crash and the
memory limits, though I didn't do anything for the memory issue in this
release, it was fixed along the way somehow), so I'm releasing 3.4.1.

OK, I believe I have a fix for this. I will send you a beta offline to
see if this fixes the issue for you.
