Hi Nicola, Thanks a lot for trying stuff! On 07/26/2010 09:48 AM, Nicola wrote:
I get errors when trying to use a mem file different from plain. The following:
beginfig(0); path p; p := unitsquare xscaled 3cm yscaled 3cm; circular_shade(p, 0, yellow, red) ; endfig; end.
compiled with
mpost -mem=metafun test.mp
results in a segmentation fault and an emtpy log file.
Same here, I'll try to fix that later today.
And trying to typeset a MetaFont file with
mpost -mem=mfplain test.mf
produces the following error:
This is MetaPost, version 1.501 (kpathsea version 6.0.0dev) 26 JUL 2010 09:45 **try-mfplain.mf (mfplain.mp Preloading the plain base, version 0.99: preliminaries, basic constants and mathematical macros, macros for converting units, macros and tables for various modes of operation, macros for drawing and filling, macros for proof labels and rules, macros for character and font administration, and a few last-minute items.) ! Attempt to close the bottom level file!.
This is not really a bug, more an incompatibility. In the new system, 'mem' files have to stop with 'dump', but the current mfplain.mp in the distrution doesn't do that yet (a similar problem is with plain.mp, but that is why we have mpost.mp). If you add a 'dump;' at the end of mfplain.mp, this problem will go away. Best wishes, Taco
