Hi,
this is with the April 19th snapshot on Windows 10 (running in German without local
comma), and is reproducible.
- open the package list window via the button at the bottom
- search for the StrucBreak package by entering "struc" in the search field -
I'm seeing v0.91 here, from 2021
- right-click on the entry, and select "view code" - after a few seconds, gretl
is closed/crashing; but no message from the OS about it
I can confirm that, and I'm seeing this:
' matrices c...'
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
It's due to the massively long statements defining arrays of
critical-value matrices. A fix should be forthcoming shortly, but I
don't think such statements are the right way to store big matrices.
Better to put them into .bin matrix files and load them on demand.
