Yielder: Eclipse bug revealed, newsgroup created

· Yielder

For some people the Yielder test cases didn't pass properly. Readers Hanson Char and Michael Barker found a bug, which is either caused by the different OS used or the different compiler used (Windows vs. Linux/Mac, or Eclipse vs. Sun/Apple compiler). At the moment I'm relying on the aforementioned people to help with the bug, as I don't have a testing ground for it myself - I'm creating one at the moment so that for future bugs I'll be able to test them through. In the meantime, I've started a Google Group for yielder-related discussions so it will be easier to raise problems and collaborate on these sorts of bugs (and hopefully, also collaborate on ideas of how to use this feature). So thanks, and keep the good (and bad) feedback coming!

The lack of debugging information made promoting local variables to class members impossible with the current way the yielder works, and new approaches are much more complex. [...]
