Re: [Bug-apl] Major dimension problem

[Blake McBride]

There is a problem.  It seems to only happen in Emacs mode.  For example:

In GNU APL without Emacs mode:

      )CLEAR

CLEAR WS

      ⍴''

0

      0 0⍴''

      ⍴''

0

Now within Emacs mode:

      )CLEAR

CLEAR WS

      ⍴''

0

      0 0⍴''

      ⍴''

0 0

      ⍴,6

1

It is not just a display problem either.  For example:

      ⎕LX←''

RANK ERROR

      ⎕LX←''

      ^  ^

The problem seems to be caused by two conditions:

1.  run from with emacs mode

2.  execute 0 0⍴''

Thanks.

I updated to the latest SVN, and it now works fine.  I was only a revision or two behind.  One of two things are true.

1.  I picked up a revision that was quickly corrected.

2.  There is some combination of events that causes ⍴'' to be 0 0 after said events even after a )CLEAR.

I can't reproduce it right now for some reason, but I'll keep trying.  (Wish I kept what I had!!)

Thanks.

I was also trying to reproduce Blake's problem and it all looks good here.

Hmm, not here:

CLEAR WS
      x←''
      ⍴x
0

As expected.

This is:

                     Welcome to GNU APL version 1.3 / 6705

Are you building from sources? Perhaps a $ make clean all is in order...
