Error on Windows when typing a second prompt! about alpaca.cpp HOT 8 OPEN

@JustAHippo

Hey, I have been trying to get this to work on Windows myself, but I am not sure how. If it is no bother, could you make a tutorial?

Thank you for your time!

from alpaca.cpp.

This actually only occurs for debug! Whoops. still an issue though. I just built with release since i've been accidentally building wrong this whole time. It's so much faster. Will keep open cuz maybe it's something?

@InfernalDread I have PR'd a Windows install guide to the readme, you can check it here #26

from alpaca.cpp.

@mcmonkey4eva That is great! Thank you very much! I will try it soon!

the segfault might be related to #18 just in case

from alpaca.cpp.

Just wanted to update, the suggested windows installation tutorial that @mcmonkey4eva has supplied has worked for me as well. Once again, thank you!

anyone find a fix for this in Windows 10?

This seems to be a source level bug. Seemly relying on how the compiler handles a back() call on an empty vector?

from alpaca.cpp.

I tracked down the empty std::vector back() call assert generated by a 2nd input prompt.

The issue in is line 1078 in chat.cpp. embd is an empty vector and the code is attempting to assign a value to an element which doesn't exist.
if (embd.back() == 2 ) {

I put a empty vector check for the variable embd before this line executed called to avoid the assert but doing it causes every other input prompt to be ignored.

if (embd.size() == 0) { embd.push_back(2); }

Maybe someone with more time or savvy can figure out why this bug only appears when running in Windows (10?). I'm using the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 (17.5.2) to compile it.
