| Two bugs (2.0.16 on Linux/Alpha) |
My apologies if someone reported this before (especially the first problem
below), but I have not followed this list with much attention in the last
weeks.
I'm running...
GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.0.16 (beta)
Alpha running linux 64-bit version
(readline v2.2 enabled, extended help available)
...and found two bugs.
? matrix(1000,5000,i,j,cos(0.5*i*j))
*** user interrupt after 1031099962854h, 339 ms.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(I obviously did not wait 1e9 years to interrupt it) The same thing happens
whenever I use the timer.
? allocatemem(256000000)
? matrix(1000,5000,i,j,cos(0.5*i*j))
*** the PARI stack overflows !!!
*** Warning: doubling stack size; new stack = 512000000.
I repeated this with a stack of 800Mb and it gave me the same problem. I
cannot imagine how PARI could need such a big amount of memory for such a
simple calculation. Is it a GC problem?
Thanks,
Matias.
