Bugs item #302, was opened at 2005-03-01 19:06 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=302&group_id=106 Category: web2c Group: v1.21a Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Denker (jsd) Assigned to: Olaf Weber (infovore) Summary: -jobname doesn't overcome texput Initial Comment: Hi -- Suppose I want to pipe commands into pdflatex: echo '\typeout{---\jobname---}' | \ pdflatex --jobname foo You might expect that to type out ---foo--- but instead it types out ---texput--- I observe that --jobname works just fine for any filename I can think of, just not when the filename is absent entirely. I can offer two workarounds: 1) It's not documented, but nevertheless possible to \def\jobname{foo}. 2) Of course it's possible to stuff the commands into tmp.tex and then pdflatex --jobname foo tmp.tex Because these workarounds exist, I would rate this as a very low-priority bug. But it had me surprised and confused for a while. Given the overall high quality of the product, I thought I'd bring it to your attention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2005-05-13 16:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 This has been fixed in 1.30.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Olaf Weber (infovore) Date: 2005-04-12 18:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1847 This is a general problem with the implementation of the --jobname switch in web2c. My proposed diff is a variant on Akira's work. It touches more files, but gives IMHO a cleaner interface to get_job_name() and less need for additional #defines. Unless there turns out to be something wrong with this, it will be merged in the web2c sources. lib/texmfmp.c | 6 ++++-- mf.ch | 6 +++++- mp.ch | 4 +++- tex.ch | 6 ++++-- web2c/coerce.h | 2 +- web2c/texmf.defines | 2 +- 6 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) Index: mf.ch =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/local/cvsroot/texk/texk/web2c/mf.ch,v retrieving revision 1.40 diff -u -d -r1.40 mf.ch --- mf.ch 28 Dec 2004 18:24:38 -0000 1.40 +++ mf.ch 12 Apr 2005 16:07:11 -0000 @@ -1717,8 +1717,12 @@ @z @x [38.788] Set correct filename for recorder. +if job_name=0 then job_name:="mfput"; +@.mfput@> pack_job_name(".log"); @y +if job_name=0 then job_name:=get_job_name("mfput"); +@.mfput@> pack_job_name(".fls"); recorder_change_filename(stringcast(name_of_file+1)); pack_job_name(".log"); @@ -1778,7 +1782,7 @@ @x [38.793] l.15938 - The job name may have been given on the command line. begin job_name:=cur_name; open_log_file; @y - begin job_name:=get_job_name; open_log_file; + begin job_name:=get_job_name(cur_name); open_log_file; @z @x [38.793] Can't return name to string pool because of editor option?
