Re: Multiple assignment attempt crashes gnu-apl

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

    Hi Mike,
    
    first of all the statement is correct:
    
          (a b c) ← 5
            a
      5
            b
      5
            c
      5
    
    Could you please check if the error also occurs in a freshly started
    interpreter (as to
    rule out that something might have been wrong with one of the
    variables a, b, or c?
    
    If would also help if you could run:
    
    make apl.lines
    
    in the src directory and then start the interpreter in the src
    directory. Thst should make
    the stack trace show source file line numbers. Note that make
    apl.lines will take a while.
    Unfortunately there are multiple calls of  get_sym_ptr() in
    function reduce_V_RPAR_ASS_B()
    and line numbers could tell us which of them failed.
    
    Thanks,
    Jürgen

I saw a multiple assignment statement in the book "Learning APL with APLX", and tried it, not knowing if GNU-APL accepted it or not. I expected maybe a syntax error, but instead it crashes with a backtrace. I know 'a←b←c←5' works, but I was just playing around with a statement I hadn't seen before.
