Re: [Maxima-discuss] GCL pathname bug

[Camm M. <ca...@ma...>]

Greetings!  This one is a maxima bug -- wna-err should read

(defun wna-err (exprs &optional required-arg-count pretty-name)
  (if required-arg-count
      (let* ((op (or pretty-name (caar exprs)))
	     (actual-count (length (rest exprs))))
	(merror (intl:gettext "~M: expected exactly ~M arguments but got ~M: ~M")
		op required-arg-count actual-count (list* '(mlist) (rest exprs))))
      (merror (intl:gettext "~:@M: wrong number of arguments.")
	      exprs)))

if it is to accespt a symbol in exprs.  With this, gcl 2.6 gives the
following testsuite results:
