Hi,
I've downloaded the windows snapshot (1.8.1cvs 2009-06-18) this morning. It seems to
have problems when decrementing scalars. The following programm fails
nulldata 10
scalar d=1
d-=1
in the last line, saying "command d unknown", or "Befehl 'd'
unbekannt" in german. I've downloaded current cvs this morning and compiled it
under linux. This version has no such problems.
I just checked the windows build version 1.8.1 from sourceforge. It gives the same error.
Is this perhaps a problem of my own configuration?! Could someone please check whether he
has the same problems under windows?!
Thanks,
Christoph

Hmm, I can reproduce this using gretlcli.exe under wine on Linux.
But I note that substituting "d -=1" works OK. I'll investigate;
strange that this sort of thing should differ by OS.
Further note: "d--" works on Linux but not on win32.

ok, this works now!
I have another problem with gretlcli under windows. It crashes when started with certain
command line arguments. only "-h" and "-v" work. When using other
swiches like "-r", "-b" or "-e" gretlcli crashes
immediately.
Chris

Now fixed in CVS and snapshot.

Glad to hear it.

Thanks for spotting that. Fixed in CVS and snapshot. We moved to
a new system for handling options lately, and I'm glad to see that
we're shaking the bugs out of it.

Hmm, I can reproduce this using gretlcli.exe under wine on Linux.
But I note that substituting "d -=1" works OK. I'll investigate;
strange that this sort of thing should differ by OS.
Indeed! So I'm curious, what's the explanation that you seem to have
found, given that it's fixed now?
thanks,
sven

It was actually a gretl bug: the code just "happened to work" on
Linux but not win32. In parsing the sort of line in question we
need to extract the leading characters that are _not_ in the set
"[ +*/%^~|=-" to get a command word or variable name:
sscanf(s, "%15[^[ +*/%^~|=-]", word);
However, I had forgotten to put '-' at the end of this set, right
before the closing ']'. If '-' appears somewhere in the middle
(as it did until this fix) it has a special meaning, namely
designating a range of characters, as in "a-z".
Allin.
