Title: SLICE segfaults
Post by: pjot on March 02, 2004, 02:06:39 PM

Hi Lutz,

Using the command "slice" in an erroneous way delivers a segfault. Might it not be more user-friendly to generate a newLISP error so it is clear where the problem comes from? For example, this code:

---------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/newlisp

(set 'var "This is newLISP")

(println(slice var 1 -1))

---------------------------------------

uses "slice" in a way that is applicable for lists, not for strings. If I run it however, I receive a segfault (Slackware 9.1).

Regards

Peter.
