[flash] Failing on glsl2agal.swc

[RealyUniqueName]

With the latest Haxe:

class Main {
  static public function main() {}
}

$ haxe -main Main -swf-lib glsl2agal.swc -swf test.swf -swf-lib glsl2agal.swc 
Error: The input swf glsl2agal.swc is corrupted

This is official Adobe's library: https://github.com/adobe/glsl2agal/blob/master/bin/glsl2agal.swc
Works fine with Haxe 3.4.

That is likely going to require a bisect. I didn't think we changed anything related to this...

[RealyUniqueName]

Can move this to "Release 4.0" milestone?
This is very bad for the Flash target.

[Simn]

I can but this isn't exactly high on my priority list.

The issue here is that IO.read_bits is bugged in the current extlib version we use. We fixed it in HaxeFoundation/ocamllibs@97ddb4d but then it was unfixed by using extlib from opam. I reported the issue here ygrek/ocaml-extlib#50, but we should think about what can/should we do until the fixed extlib is released. One option of course is to copy extlib back into ocamlllibs again...

[nadako]

Waiting for the new extlib to be released after ygrek/ocaml-extlib#52 is merged. Then we can pin it and it should be fixed :-3

[Simn]

Can we close this?

[nadako]

Not yet, I have to figure out how to actually pin the dependency now.

[nadako]

(i have a branch)

[Simn]

Why do we have to pin something though? We should only need pinning if we want to rely on an older version of a lib.

[nadako]

Well, it's not exactly "pinning", it's >= "1.7.6" to make sure we're using the fixed version.

[nadako]

The problem is that it currently says - No package matches extlib>=1.7.6., even though it's there (https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/extlib/) and I didn't have a change to investigate the reson.
