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.
|

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 reports to:
|
|
|
|
calc-tester@postofc.corp.sgi.com
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
it 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.
|

Send any comments, compiler warning messages, suggestions and most
|
|
importantly, fixes (in the form of a context diff patch) to:

Known bugs:
|
|
|
|
* calc -i ignores quit binding or EOF input in some cases. For example:
|
|
|
|
echo 'define f(x) { ' > myfile
|
|
calc -i read myfile
|
|
"./myfile", line 2: End-of-file in function body
|
|
Error in commands
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
At this point, calc will re-prompt if you give it an EOF, or
|
|
type ^D while using lib/altbind or while ^D is bound to quit.
|
|
|
|
* When compiled on Solaris with the Solaris cc using -Xc option
|
|
(which forces BASEB=16) and without -DFORCE_STDC, calc fails
|
|
regression test #8218 because hash(a,s), where a = isqrt(2e1000)
|
|
and s = "xyz", returns 1418255679 instead of 2378490456.
|
|
|
|
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.

Calc Mis-features:
|
|
|
|
* The following shell command (written in sh,ksh,bash-like form) works:
|
|
|
|
calc '/*
|
|
* comment
|
|
*/
|
|
print 2+3;'
|
|
|
|
However this (also written in sh,ksh,bash-like form) does not work:
|
|
|
|
echo '/*
|
|
* comment
|
|
*/
|
|
print 2+3;' | calc
|
|
|
|
The 2nd example will result in an 'Unterminated comment' error.
|
|
|
|
* Calc does not support the #! exec method. For example of the
|
|
following is placed in an executable file (assume the path to
|
|
calc is correct) called /tmp/xyzzy:
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/local/bin/calc
|
|
/*
|
|
* comment
|
|
*/
|
|
print 2+3;
|
|
|
|
Will result in '"tmp" is undefined' and '"xyzzy" is undefined'
|
|
error messages because calc considers $0 as an expression to
|
|
evaluate.
