Calc; v p fails in script

Calc; v p fails in script

[Bart Nielsen]

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the
precise symptoms of the bug.  If possible, include a backtrace by
doing `\[toggle-debug-on-error]', then reproducing the bug.

When I pack a set of vectors on teh stack in a keyboard macro, it fails
to do that when I run the keyboard macro.


In particular:

If I define a macro that builds a matrix from two vectors, the result on
the stack is my two vectors plus rev(2)

^x (
vx 2
<return>
2 vp
^x )

This defines a macro, which I named make.matrix.x2


(fset 'make\.matrix\.x2
   [?v ?x ?2 return return ?2 ?v ?v ?p])

when I run it, I end up with the following on the stack:

--- Emacs Calculator Mode ---
4:  [ [ 1, 2 ]
      [ 1, 2 ] ]
3:  [1, 2]
2:  [1, 2]
1:  rev(2)
    .

I had to abort the macro with ^g to get it to show up.

I don’t think the emacs/mail interface works. If this is a repeat, I apologize, but it has been a real problem for me for years.

Thanks,

Thanks, but this is the second or third time you send the same
message, and they all get through (albeit after a delay, since you are
not a subscriber to the list, and so your messages need approval by a
human).  There's no need to send multiple identical messages to the
list.

Btw, reports about bugs are best sent to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, not
here.  The Emacs command "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" should allow you
to write the report, and then send it to the right address including
all the details about your build and system that could be important
for analyzing the big and finding a solution.
