From bug-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Mon Nov 18 16:04:55 2002 Subject: crash bug in 2.1.39 (function definition) From: Hein Zelle To: bug-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 15:47:35 -0600 Dear Octave developers, I found a reproducable crash bug in octave 2.1.39, and although the way to produce it is a bit vague, it may be easy to fix. Here's a dump of my octave session: ----- [laptop] ~/files/svd/ncep-sst-z20 :-) octave GNU Octave, version 2.1.39 (i686-pc-linux-gnu). [snip copyright info] octave:1> function nelem = bla(a,res) > # press control-C here to abort function definition octave:1> function nelem = bla(a,res) panic: impossible state reached in file `parse.y' at line 1085 panic: Aborted -- stopping myself... attempting to save variables to `octave-core'... save to `octave-core' complete Abort (core dumped) ----- The octave-core file is empty except for the first line, which says # Created by Octave 2.1.39, Mon Nov 18 11:40:48 2002 HST If you want I can send you the core dump too, but I doubt that will add much information. I run octave on redhat-7.2, pc architecture (laptop), configured with ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local/octave-2.1.39/ gcc version 2.96 Hope this helps, contact me for more info if necessary.
