Examples fail to run

[matkuki]

Hi,

Specs:

• Windows 10 x64
• Nim devel
• installed nim-nanovg with nimble install nanovg

I tried building a couple of examples:

• demo.nim runs and immediately stops without an error
• example_fbo.nim throws:

Traceback (most recent call last)
...\examples\example_fbo.nim(220) example_fbo
...\examples\example_fbo.nim(144) main
...\examples\example_fbo.nim(22) renderPattern
SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)

Can this be fixed?

Thanks

@johnnovak
Is this library still active?

[johnnovak]

Yeah, kinda active, but it's a hobby project, so there might be long stretches of inactivity.

You can downgrade to Nim 1.6.0 and it will work. I'm not quite sure why it fails with this error on 1.6.2... I'll figure it out eventually.

Thanks 👍

@matkuki FYI, the crash happens because of a Nim compiler regression introduced in 1.6.2, it has nothing to do with the library itself:

nim-lang/Nim#19342 (comment)

I expect a patch release will be released soon. In the interim, just use 1.6.0 as suggested before.

Thanks for the info 👍👍

FYI @matkuki , Nim 1.6.4 has been released and now everything works correctly. I've also updated the library and have added two more examples.
