Hi forum, I tested this on my macbook (versioning below) and couldn't replicate the bug. GAP4, Version: 4.4.12 of 17-Dec-2008, i686-apple-darwin9.6.0-gcc
Also couldn't replicate on my linux box, which runs Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS: GAP4, Version: 4.4.12 of 17-Dec-2008, i486-pc-linux-gnu-i486-linux-gnu-gcc The bug may be specific to later editions of ubuntu and/or GAP? Hope this is helpful, Nick Loughlin ________________________________________ From: forum-boun...@gap-system.org [forum-boun...@gap-system.org] on behalf of Matthew Fayers [m.fay...@qmul.ac.uk] Sent: 06 August 2012 10:36 To: forum Subject: [GAP Forum] GAP crashes when reading a syntax error Dear GAP forum, I'm running GAP 4.5.5 on Ubuntu 12.04. When I read a file into GAP with the following contents: f:=function() local k; for k in [1] do Print(k));od; end; GAP unexpectedly closes. (This happens on both my machines.) Of course, there is a syntax error in the third line, but it's surprising to me that this causes GAP to crash. Is this a problem with GAP, or have I got something set up badly? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Matthew Fayers School of Mathematical Sciences Queen Mary, University of London Mile End Road London E1 4NS 020 7882 5479 _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
