Re: [Bug-apl] .apl.history file?

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi David,

yes, it is in place (despite of its name which was not changed when readline was removed, so
that existing preferences files would still work).

Maybe you want to check with apl -l 37 in which order the preferences files are read.

You can also modify the LineInput constructor like this to see what filename is being used:

LineInput::~LineInput()
{
   if (initial_termios_errno)   return;

Q(write_history)
Q(uprefs.line_history_path.c_str())
...

Is the history file mechanism still in place?

I have set READLINE_HISTORY_PATH in ~/.gnu-apl/preferences to /home/dlamkins/.apl.history .

GNU APL doesn't create the history file, nor does it write to the file if I create it.
