Re: [gpsim-devel] .assert broken in latest svn

[Pete R. <pe...@re...>]

Morning, Martin.

I also found that.  It was #5 in the list of bugs I sent to the list in
November.  The change will have taken place quite a while before then as
I sat on the bugs for a couple of months before reporting them.  It
looks like the backslash escaping of double quotes has been replaced
with single quotes.

Personally I think this is cleaner, but it caused some headscratching
because all of the documents still mention the backslash escaping, too.
I converted my code to use the single quotes as I need to run from
latest, but that obviously means I can't use an earlier version of gpsim
or run older code.

Regards,

Pete Restall

Hi,

Using the latest svn checkout (r2332) and recent gputils (svn r2394) the
statement
  .assert  "\"*** PASSED breakpoint test\""

gives the following error:
***ERROR: syntax error, unexpected '\\' while parsing:
	'break e 125, \"*** PASSED breakpoint test\"'

This is fairly disastrous since it is used all over the place.
The easiest tests to reproduce this is regression/breakpoints.
Is this a known issue? Does anybody have a fix for this?

My current thinking is that the recent changes to parse.yy may have broken
this, but I haven't looked too deeply into the issue yet.

Best regards,
Martin Habets
