Re: Last call for issues affecting release of gnuplot 5.0

[Karl R. <ra...@un...>]

The "update" command

http://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/1385/

might still need a change that is not backward-compatible, although
i´d wager nobody would ever notice ;-).

I´d propose to make it always overwrite the ".old" backup file
(which is the (unintended) behaviour on linux now, but not e.g.
windows).


(And while at it:)
fit.c contains an stale variant for the case when the parameter file
does not exist and no previous fit was done. Should the file with
all parameters marked FIXED be written or not? I´d vote for the
former. It seems rather arbitrary to deny it.
==fit.c:1521==
#if 1
Eex2("'update' requires a prior 'fit' since the parameter file %s
does not exist yet.", ofilename);
#else
fprintf(stderr, "'update' without a prior 'fit' and without a
previous parameter file:\n");
fprintf(stderr, " all variables will be marked '# FIXED'!\n");
#endif
=========
