Re: [Numpy-discussion] Is it a(nother) bug ? test_all.py

[Jean-Bernard A. <jb...@ph...>]

Hy Numeric people!

Thank you very much Janne for your suggestion of a compilation problem. I
just recompiled with debug option and the Numeric.arange(2)*1j problem
disapeared.

Further testing of my Numeric 1.7 code shows that the code still breaks:

Python 1.5.2 (#9, May 30 2000, 15:08:12)  [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)]
on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
Hello from .pythonrc.py
>>> from Numeric import *
>>> import Numeric
>>> Numeric.__version__
'11'
>>> a = arange(2, typecode=Complex) % 2
>>> a.typecode()
'O'
>>> add.outer(a**2,a**2)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4006b570 in malloc ()
(gdb) where (see at the end of message for debug info)

I have no idea if it is another bug or another compilation problem.

If this is an installation or compilation problem, I am surprised it
occures with standart linux, gcc. But I understand it can happens.

Proposal : a test for these problems should be included in test_all.py or
other test of the module. I installed with Distutils-0.8.2 and tested with
test_all.py without notification of any problem.

PS: I have the problem with Numeric 11 (distribution 14 compiled with egcc)

Thanks a lot for your help,

	Jean-Bernard
