I think this is a bug Lutz...

newLISP v.10.3.0 on Linux IPv4/6, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

This is fixed here: http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/development/inprogress/">http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/develo ... nprogress/">http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/development/inprogress/



There will be a maintenance release later. This bug stayed undetected since 10.2.

Hi Lutz,



It took some time to discover that my functions where all returning 'true ;-)

..to this (++) issue.. quite funny actualy but not consistant, thats how i discovered it. Thanks for the quick fix!



The main difference now between (++) and (inc) is integer and float handling, could then (++) and (--) be

handled like (inc) and (dec) too? Just to takeaway confusion on the function format ?



Example from 10.3.1 ->



> (++)

ERR: invalid parameter in function ++



> (inc)
