Silly bug in max and min

John Cowan — 2001-07-08 07:01:58

A misplaced brace in the implementation of max and min caused them not

to do anything unless at least one argument was a float.  You can

fix interp.c by moving one of the braces from line 654 to line 645,

or download the revised tarball from the usual place:

http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/joy.tar.gz .



Thanks to Manfred for pointing out this bug.

I have made some changes to the Joy page, in style and in content:



C sources updated,

    with the "quick fix" for  true  and  false

        needed by one test file below

    bug for  max  and  min

        fixed as per John's instructions (thanks John)



Several new Joy libraries which replace the old  usrlib  and stdlib

    usrlib  - (new) now has unix/vms specific stuff to customise

    inilib  - initial library for Joy system (John: uses "intern")

    agglib  - aggregates

    seqlib  - sequences

    numlib  - numericals

    matrlib  - matrices (Also, testfile and output for matrlib)

    demo output for help command with all libraries loaded



Treat them as initial versions, probably to be revised.

(John: I think they should not be included in the tarball yet.)



I expect to add more soon, mostly from the old typlib

but split into several files. There will be testfiles and output, too.
