Re: [Bug-apl] Segmentation fault causes GNU APL version 1.5-1 AMD64 to exit

[Blake McBride]

Just for reference, I tried your example with the head of the source code repository, and I got:

$ apl

      a←1500 1500⍴?(1500×1500)⍴10

      ⎕wa

732487680

      b←⌹a

      )off

However, since your  ⎕wa was substantially less than mine, it may be that you ran out of RAM and I didn't.

Also, what version of the GNU APL source code did you start with?  (The repository head is highly recommended.)

Hope this helps.

The following sequence caused the fault. APL exits. The interpreter is running under Debian 8 in a VMWare virtual machine with 2GB RAM & 880MB swap space. One would expect a WS FULL or some other APL error in this instance rather than a forced exit, no?

a←1500 1500 ⍴ ?(1500×1500)⍴10
