SLICE segfaults
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2004 10:06 pm
Hi Lutz,
Using the command "slice" in an erroneous way delivers a segfault. Might it not be more user-friendly to generate a newLISP error so it is clear where the problem comes from? For example, this code:
---------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/newlisp
(set 'var "This is newLISP")
(println(slice var 1 -1))
---------------------------------------
uses "slice" in a way that is applicable for lists, not for strings. If I run it however, I receive a segfault (Slackware 9.1).
Regards
Peter.
