Subject: bug#6878: bool-vectors of length 0 signal error when aref/aset the 0th element
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:19:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTin6f1iczxWxqXGvQRQsA9ofOw2SQJFErTd1cp+z@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
When aref/aset'ing the 0th element of a bool-vectors of length 0 i get
an args-out-of-range error:
(setq tt--bv (make-bool-vector 29 t))
;=> #&29"\377\377\377\x1f"
(vconcat (make-bool-vector 29 t))
; => [t { ... 27 t's ... } t]
(aref tt--bv 0)
;=> t
(aset tt--bv 0 nil)
;=> nil
(setq tt--bv (make-bool-vector 0 t))
;=> #&0""
(vconcat (make-bool-vector 0 t))
;=> []
(aref tt--bv 0)
;=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range #&0"" 0)
(aset tt--bv 0 t)
;=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range #&0"" 0)
As with the the first bool-vector of length 29 the second bool-vector
of length 0 should also have a value at element 0 that evaluates to
`t'. (Or, it should according to the manual):
,---- (info "(elisp)Bool-Vector Type")
|
| "A "bool-vector" is a one-dimensional array of elements that must be
| `t' or `nil'."
|
`----
I can't find mention in the docs that the 0th element of a bool-vector
is void for 0 length bool-vectors. Indeed, it isn't at all clear why
it should.
I find this is problematic because there aren't any equivalents to
`car-safe'/`safe-length' for generalized bool-vectors operations.
Obv. taking the 0th index of a vector or char-table also signals an
args-out-of-range error however I belive this for slightly different
reasons.
(setq tt--mv (make-vector 0 t))
;=> []
(vectorp tt--mv)
;=> t
(vectorp tt--bv)
;=> nil
(char-table-p tt--bv)
;=> nil
(vector-or-char-table-p tt--bv)
;=> nil
(arrayp tt--bv)
;=> t
(bool-vector-p tt--bv)
;=> t
(null tt--bv)
;=> nil
(null (append tt--bv))
;=> nil
(null (append tt--bv nil))
;=> t
Maybe something like this is needed:
(defun safe-aref-bool-vector (bool-vector idx)
(if (and (bool-vector-p bool-vector)
(not (null (append bool-vector nil))))
(aref bool-vector idx)
0))
(defun safe-aset-bool-vector (bool-vector idx)
(if (and (bool-vector-p bool-vector)
(not (null (append bool-vector nil))))
(aset bool-vector idx)
0))
