Re: edif2 corner condition.

[Hans-Peter Sorge]

    Hi,
    
    the 'corner condition' arises in  edif2.cc:
    
const Function* real_get_fcn(UCS_string symbol_name) {
.....
function = obj->get_function(); 
....
}

    The method 
obj->get_function()
    as it seems to me, is "loosing" the body.  
    
    
    The output from print below corresponds to the truncated emacs
    buffer content.
obj->get_function()
const UCS_string  ucs    = function->canonical(false);
UTF8_string      edif(ucs);
fprintf(stderr, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -f- function: %s\n", edif.c_str() ) ;
    
    Best Regards
    Hans-Peter
