Could not send interrupt signal to maxima error

Dan Hayes, you have repeatedly been told how to format code in your reports. To review, you can either use the </> command at the top of the text window or you can preface a block of code with ~~~ and end it with ~~~. We have also repeatedly asked you to make an effort to report a minimal example of the problem. In this case, you seem to have figured out the problem yourself. Yes, in Maxima, do is a reserved word and cannot be used as a name for a variable, array, function, etc. Closing this report...

The bug reporting system is not the right place for discussion. You reported a problem. I reduced it to a minimal reproducible example -- which you should have done. I have no idea what you are trying to do with depends(r[1,2],x[2,3]) which is illegal (as reported by Maxima), but even if it were a bug, it does not relate to this bug report.

I'm surprised that subscripted variables are allowed at all.

I showed a minimal example. The expand is irrelevant. As for the kill, dependencies are a property of the first argument: ~~ depends(x,y)$ dependencies => [x(y)] kill(y) dependencies => [x(y)] <<< killing y doesn't affect x(y) kill(x) dependencies => [] <<< killing x removes x(y) As documented, you can also remove dependencies like this: depends(a,b)$ remove(b,dependency)$ dependencies => [a(b)] <<< no effect; the dependency is a property of a remove(a,dependency)$ dependencies => [] <<< removes...

mutual depends creates error even after kill...

Fixed in 5.49.0 SBCL 2.5.1. Does it still fail in other Lisps?

This is as specified: For bigfloat numbers, when 'fpprintprec' has a value between 2 and 'fpprec' (inclusive), the number of digits printed is equal to 'fpprintprec'. Otherwise, 'fpprintprec' is 0, or greater than 'fpprec', and the number of digits printed is equal to 'fpprec'. The specified behavior for floats is different from that of bfloats: (for floats) Otherwise, ... the number is printed "readably": that is, it is printed with sufficient digits to exactly reconstruct the number on input. The...
