Re: [Bug-apl] Symbol Limit Not Enforced

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Mike,

thanks, fixed both the documentation and the segfault in SVN 659.
Also made the sorting of the variable names a little faster.

On the GNU APL web page, it states that GNU APL has a maximum symbol count of 65536.  However, it appears that this isn't enforced, and you can make as many symbols as you like.  If you make a million or so, and type )VARS, the system will segfault.

This isn't anything a user is likely to encounter in a real world application, so it isn't really a bug.  But it is a small difference between what the system does and what the documentation says.
