If you notice something wrong, strange or broken, try rereading:
|
|
|
|
README.FIRST
|
|
HOWTO.INSTALL
|
|
BUGS (this file)
|
|
|
|
If that does not help, cd to the calc source directory and try:
|
|
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
Look at the end of the output, it should say something like:
|
|
|
|
9998: passed all tests /\../\
|
|
9999: Ending regression tests
|
|
|
|
If it does not, then something is really broken!
|
|
|
|
If you made and modifications to calc beyond the simple Makefile
|
|
configuration, try backing them out and see if things get better.
|
|
|
|
To be sure that your version of calc is up to date, check out:
|
|
|
|
http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/calc-download.html
|
|
|
|
The calc web site is located at:

If you have tried all of the above and things still are not right,
|
|
then it may be time to send in a bug report. You can send bug
|
|
and bug fixes reports to:
|
|
|
|
calc-bugs at asthe dot com
|
|
|
|
[[ NOTE: Replace 'at' with @, 'dot' is with . and remove the spaces ]]
|
|
[[ NOTE: The EMail address uses 'asthe', the web site URL uses 'isthe' ]]
|
|
|
|
Your subject must contain the words:
|
|
|
|
calc bug report
|
|
|
|
You may have additional words in your subject line.
|
|
|
|
When you send your report, please include the following information:
|
|
|
|
* a description of the problem
|
|
* the version of calc you are using (if you cannot get calc
|
|
to run, then send us the 4 #define lines from version.c)
|
|
* if you modified calc from an official patch, send me the mods you made
|
|
* the type of system you were using
|
|
* the type of compiler you were using
|
|
* any compiler warnings or errors that you saw
|
|
* cd to the calc source directory, and type:
|
|
|
|
make debug > debug.out 2>&1 (sh, ksh, bash users)
|
|
make debug >& debug.out (csh, tcsh users)
|
|
|
|
and send the contents of the 'debug.out' file.
|
|
|
|
Stack traces from core dumps are useful to send as well.
|
|
|
|
Fell free to use the above address to send in big fixes (in the form
|
|
of a context diff patch).

Known bugs:
|
|
|
|
We are sure some more bugs exist. When you find them, please let
|
|
us know! See the above for details on how to report and were to
|
|
EMail your bug reports and hopefully patches to fix them.

Problems that have known work-a-rounds:
|
|
|
|
* There is a bug in gcc v4.1.0 that causes calc to fail the regression
|
|
test. The work-a-round is to compile with gcc v4.1.1 or later. This
|
|
problems was observed on Fedora 5.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
mis-features in calc:
|
|
|
|
Some problems are not bugs but rather mis-features / things that could
|
|
work better. The following is a list of mis-features that should be
|
|
addressed and improved someday.
|
|
|
|
* When statement is of the form { ... }, the leading { MUST BE ON
|
|
THE SAME LINE as the if, for, while or do keyword.
|
|
|
|
This works as expected:
|
|
|
|
if (expr) {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
However this WILL NOT WORK AS EXPECTED:
|
|
|
|
if (expr)
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This needs to be changed. See also "help statement", "help unexpected",
|
|
and "help todo".
|
|
|
|
* The chi.cal resource file does not work well with odd degrees
|
|
of freedom. Can someone improve this algorithm?
|
|
|
|
* The intfile.cal resource file reads and writes big or little Endian
|
|
integers to/from files the hard way. It does NOT use blkcpy. The
|
|
following code:
|
|
|
|
i = (ord("\n") << 16) | (ord("i") << 8) | ord("H")
|
|
b = blk()
|
|
copy(i, b)
|
|
fd = fopen("file", "w")
|
|
copy(b, fd);
|
|
fclose(fd)
|
|
|
|
will write an extra NUL octet to the file. Where as:
|
|
|
|
read intfile
|
|
i = (ord("\n") << 16) | (ord("i") << 8) | ord("H")
|
|
be2file(i, "file2")
|
|
|
|
will not.
