#To: bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org #From: Kristján Jónasson #Subject: Gawk bug #Cc: arnold@gnu.org # #Hi! # #The following seems to be a bug in gawk. I have tried as I could to #minimize the bug-causing program, so of course it does not seem to do #anything useful in its present form. The error message received is: # #gawk: test.awk:15: fatal error: internal error #Aborted # #Note that there is an attached file that the program reads, called "a". I #played with the program a fair bit and my feeling is that the error is #related with the delete statement, and not the reading of the file and the #close statement. At one point I was able to remove the file reading and #still obtain the error. If, for example, I remove the close statement and #make two copies of the file instead, (reading one copy in sub1 and the #other in sub2), the error still occurs. # #The operating system is Red Hat Linux, version 6.0, the gawk is version #3.0.4, and the gawk was obtained from an rpm file gawk-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm. # #The program is: # # Wed Mar 8 13:41:34 IST 2000 # ADR: modified to use INPUT, so can set it from command line. # When run, no output is produced, but it shouldn't core # dump, either. # # The program bug is to not close the file in sub2. function sub1(x) { # while (getline < "a" == 1) i++ while (getline < INPUT == 1) i++ # close("a") close(INPUT) } function sub2(x) { i=0 delete y # while (getline < "a" == 1) z[++i] = $1 while (getline < INPUT == 1) z[++i] = $1 for(i in z) y[i] = x[i] + z[i] } function sub3(x, y, z) { sub2(x) for(i=1; i<=4; i++) z[i] = y[i] } BEGIN { sub1(x) sub2(x) sub3(x, y, z) } # #And the data file is: # # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # 32.440 3.830 3.383700000000000 10.08 298 865 # #
