Multi-Platform Issue: Nesting VIMs

[paul_a_cardinale]

I ran into an interesting problem while making some code multi-platform.

I ended up with a .vim inside a .vim (I shouldn't have done that).

It worked fine on a PC, but broke on a Mac with the error message: "Recursive VI call could not determine inplaceness".

Nested .vims should be a problem.

They obviously are, although often it's just fine.

A lot of the assert functions are .vim, and they are unusable if they couldn't be nested.

I think there was work done on .vim's stability in probably every version since they where introduced. What version are you in?

It was actually my fault, not LabVIEW's (slightly different code for PC vs Mac; and the Mac code was broken).

When I fixed it, the nesting worked fine.

I did mean shouldn't be a problem...

Glad that it works. There are issues with nested .vims, but not for trivial usage.
