Release v2.16.0.0
The following are the changes in this release: Starting with calc version 2.16.0.0, the ability to perform arithmetic on addresses of values in calc objects has been greatly restricted. Most arithmetic on of value addresses could easily cause calc to crash. For example, prior to calc version 2.16.0.0, the following command was likely to crash calc: calc '*((&.)+1e9)' Subtracting two value addresses is permitted, however there is NO guarantee that the address of a value will remain consistent across calc runs. Addresses of values depend on the circumstances of when the calc values were formed. The above restrictions and caveats apply to addresses of values. Such restrictions and caveats to NOT apply to the addresses of octets, NOR to the addresses within strings. If isptr(x) == 2, then x is value-pointer and the above mentioned restrictions and caveats apply. See "help address" for more information on value address arithmetic. Added E_INVALID_DEREF (10610) error code to indicate the invalid dereferencing a non-variable. Added E_INVALID_ADDR_OP (10611) error code to indicate an invalid arithmetic address operation. We plan to let this most recent change settle down before performing the calc v2 to calc v3 fork. Therefore, version 2.16.1.0 will form the basis for the calc v2 to calc v3 fork.
