DejaNews search: pari & math* &! leo* &! ftpadmin &! natarajan &! mutuel &! uucp &! ~g (muc.archive.* | soc.culture.* | sfnet.* | news.newuser*)
Pari-die-handler was using die() instead of croak();
pari_print, pari_pprint and pari_texprint implemented;
T: New test "Testout":

T: 133 tests are skipped;
after 0.5:
Prototypes added (121 not ok, 127 skipped);
gdivround, ifact added (122 not ok, 112 skipped);
Documentation brushed up;
Quickier switch inside loadPari;
T: Testout.t was transposing input/output matrices
(89 not ok, 106 skipped);
T: Testout.t: more filters (82 not ok, 109 skipped);
Chapter 3 of documentation converted to POD;
Problem with refcounting: when Perl code is called from PARI
loop constructs, avma changes under Perl feet... fixed;
Calculation of number of arguments of imported into Pari
function was wrong;
Prototype of Perl function consulted when importing into PARI;

T: Massage tests with loops (84 not ok, 78 skip);
T: Massage floats on output to 16 digits (69 not ok, 78 skip);
T: Massage complicated matrix output, +tiny changes (45 not ok, 76 sk);
T: Yet more misc massage (29 not ok - most truely so, 81 skip);
4 classes of problems:
ker(matrix), pari_print inside fordiv, changevar, taylor
after 0.7:
T: settype was ok, so remove the code for skipping it (80 skip)
T: better filtering, print/multiline were busted (26 not ok, 73 skip);
changevar() added;
Access to vector elements via $v->[3] (0-based);
T: convert a[6] to $a->[-1+6]: (34 not ok, 37 skip);
minor improvements to chap3_to_pod (for chapter 4 ;-);
T: transposition tests converted: (34 not ok, 31 skip);
sentinel introduced, does not fix anything...;
T: had a workaround for forprime() instead of forvec() (33/31);
T: various improvements... (17 not ok, but segfaults on exit);
matrix() could have been called with the same variable for two
iterators (4 not ok/30 skip, but segfaults on exit)
T: move failing tests to will_fail.t;
after 0.8:
Hi-resolution plotting works if one has Term::Gnuplot v. 0.4,
one needs to call link_gnuplot() before doing this;
foncpari.pl now suggests the code for a missing interface (in simplest
cases);
interfaces for most functions added (except buch*, string and addhelp);
indirect variables (like PARIvar('x')) can be indexed like $x->[2];
T: Interactive plotting test added (ignored if no Term::Gnuplot);
Bug in libPARI/plotport.c corrected;
Minor changes to chap3_to_pod;
after 0.91:
Chip recognition code from PARI2.0alpha0 added;
Builds on Solaris, gives illegal instruction trap in t/Testout.t:32;
after 0.92:
Fix the failure on Solaris via aliasing shifts() to pari_shifts()
(was dynalinking with libnls instead).
after 0.93:
Updated for newer Term::Gnuplot.
after 0.94:
Updated for v 2.0.11-beta of PARI.
One needs to manually copy paricfg.h from pari distribution
to libPARI directory.
Processor recognition is on level of 2.0.5-alpha.
sparcs on linux/nextstep not supported.
hppa cannot build dynamically, use machine=port instead in
Makefile.PL line.
after 0.95_00:
Approximately half of subtests are passed now (229 skip, 337 fail
out of 782).
Some more patches to PARI are required (in ./patches).
Still needs to be built as a subdirectory of the root of PARI tree.
after 0.95_01:
Tests and paricfg.h are autocopied (but paricfg.h should be
created first by toplevel configure script!).
Skip compatibility tests.
Circa 80% of non-skipped tests is OK (110 fail, 764 skipped
out of 1381).
Look for PARI build directory nearby.
Autogenerate libPARI.pod.
after 0.95_02:
Tag :prec=digits allowed.
Overloaded << and >> (in Perl, not XS).
Hex and octal conversion on _hex_cvt.
Untested overloaded constants, on :int, :float, :hex import tags.
Output of doubles explained.
Flexible interface implemented (with runtime-parsing of
signature, will not work if sizeof's char*, GEN, long
are different.)
85% pass (366 skipped, 146 fail out of 1381).
(nfields: some actually-wrong answers?)
after 0.95_03:
Prototype for flexible-interface functions was wrong.
Only type()/sumalt()/prodinf()/plot*() are special-cased in
tests now (in addition to what was in 1.39).
Better massage of matrix output, use RE to process pari output.
undef allowed as a value of an optional argument.
Minor massage of codes to move 'l' and 'v' forward.
setseriesprecision() implemented.
sv2pari() was not calling mg_get().
All tests successful, 1 test skipped, plus 156 subtests skipped.
Files=17, Tests=1393, 204 secs ( 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.00 cpu)
^^^ with debugging enabled
after 2.0011_01:
Build which needed a translation to level0.s, kernel1.s was busted.
Perl 5.005_52 had conflicting `warner'.
Perl 5.005_52 has different order of hashes => needed to explicitly
order the variables in Testout.pm.
Perl 5.005_52: Autoloading got in the way of FETCHSIZE (implemented)
:int, :float and :hex import tags tested and fixed.
All tests successful, 1 test skipped, plus 156 subtests skipped.
Files=15, Tests=1377, 121 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.00 CPU)
after 2.001102:
Patching was still busted.
Use the copy of tar.gz in the current directory if present.
after 2.001103:
Tests now run with the plotting enabled too.
All tests successful.
Files=15, Tests=1378, 108 secs (86.46 cusr 3.82 csys = 90.28 cpu)
2.001200:
new patch for PARI 2.0.12.
Allow a LF before comma for my_print* tests.
2.001300:
Special-case version 2.0.13 too (prefer alpha over betas).
First step to allow dynalinking set_output_file().
2.001301:
Change interfaces 83 and 84: they are void now.
Define PERL_POLLUTE.
During test environment variable MP_NOGNUPLOT may be set to
not load Term::Gnuplot.
2.001302:
The hack to fake GEN-as-an-array-reference was creating a
cyclic reference loop ==> memory leak.
2.001400:
machine=port target was trying to compile none/level0.s.
Special-case version 2.0.14 too (prefer alpha over betas).
2.001401:
machine=port target was trying to compile src//level0.c.
