I've chased this bug into MTOSC in src/defint.lisp, where it seems to have something to do with the functions RIB, CSEMIUP, and CSEMIDOWN. There are a couple of special variables BPTU and BPTD which are supposed to tie those together. Could be a bug in the handling of special variables, or in the assignments to those.
I would like to note that this bug is only observed with GCL 2.6.14. Other Lisp implementations don't show it. best Robert On Mon, Apr 8, 2024 at 8:36 AM Robert Dodier <[email protected]> wrote: > > The current version of Maxima (00fcc04) bumps into several failures in > rtestint when compiled with GCL 2.6.14. > > GCL advertises itself as: > GCL (GNU Common Lisp) 2.6.14 Fri Jan 13 10:47:56 AM EST 2023 ANSI git: > Version_2_6_14 > > The failures start with > > Running tests in rtestint: > ********************** Problem 56 *************** > Input: > cos(x) > integrate(------, x, minf, inf) > 2 > x + 1 > > > Result: > - 1 2 > %e (%e + 1) %pi > ------------------- > 2 > > This differed from the expected result: > - 1 > %e %pi > > and then there are about a dozen more in a similar vein.
