Hi Alexey,
very odd indeed. It very much looks like OSX is starting apl but
then not piping
the subsequent lines of the script into APL. As if they are
opening the script with
popen() instead of execve(). Its probably more a
problem of the shell than of
the entire OS.
I would also believe that after starting the script you are in
immediate execution
mode in GNU APL but with input echo off (apl was started with
--script).
I suppose if you replace '--' by '-f' in your first script line
(without mentioning the
script name as I proposed earlier), then it should work.
BTW a non-absolute path does not work in GNU/APL, which shows how
different the
platforms are in this area.

Hi,
i have added a check if stdin is open when GNU APL starts, SVN 881.
If you start the following script:
#!/usr/local/bin/apl -l 37 --script --
]BOXING ¯8
⎕ARG
)off
Then we can see if stdin is open on OSX and how apl is being called in OSX.

Hi Alexey,
yes. I changed it recently to fix the '--' issue.
A GNU APL script assumes that it was called by execve(). The expand_argv() function
"undoes" the behavior of execve(), which lumps together all arguments on the first script line
into argv[1] of GNU APL's main(argc, argv) functions. In that process the filename of the script
gets lost (or may not even exist, e.g. in a pipe) so -f could be used to tell the script where to
fetch its input. This is because execve() had already closed the file descriptor before it called
apl, so apl has no stdin when it starts. With -f you point apl to re-open the input file again.

Ok, as I understand I need to take a look at

Juergen Sauermann <address@hidden> writes:
Hi,
yes, most of this trouble is caused by how execve() works, which is quite different
on different platforms. And it happens before apl is being called so I cant do much
about it.
Sometimes it helps to start apl with -f so that the interpreter knows where to fetch
its input, like:
#!/usr/local/bin/apl -f /home/eedjsa/tmp/script --script --

Hi,
Yes ./script -- myarg works.
The problem is why I have to repeat -- in command line since I've
already specified it in the first line of the script, as it is specified
in documentiation.
Basically I would like to pass my arguments to the script without
mentioning "--" in the command line.

There is no point (and it does not work) to put the arguments in the first line
of the script,
because if the script itself knows them then the rest of the script can use them
as well.
*⎕ARG *is what is passed to the script, not what is passed to the interpreter
mentioned in the script.
See also *man execve*.

This happens on 833 and 1.5 and on both linux and osx.
In INFO file it explicitely states:
"Using ’—-’ as last argument on the first line of the script file
prevents any of the options given to the script to be interpreted as APL
options; all such options are passed to the application via ⎕ARG."
But it is not happening.
