Subject: ob-calc duplicate stack-element issue
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2020 11:46:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9eed12f5-face-eb4f-4006-e8ee7890e0a9@webbedtables.de> (raw)
Hi there,
the following org snippet is describing my issue.
Thanks in advance,
Heiko
* TODO post problem report about ob-calc duplicate stack-element issue
:LOGBOOK:
- State "TODO" from [2020-03-15 Sun 09:19]
:END:
- I want to use ob-calc to do some "literate calculation" with the
purpose to document what I thought at the time I wrote it.
- problem: When evaluating the calc snippets the top of stack element
is dropped. Because every "begin/end_src calc" block drops the top
of stack, one can't reuse the result in following blocks.
- although without expecting any effect here is some version
information:
- emacs version: GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.14.5) of 2017-09-12 on hullmann, modified by Debian
- org-version: 9.2
** what I'd like to be able
Number of cars (PKW) in germany:
#+begin_src calc :exports both
45e6
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 45000000.
Yearly mileage in [km/y]
#+begin_src calc :exports both
15000
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 15000
Calculate amount of complete km per year
#+begin_src calc :exports both
'*
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 675000000000.
** the problem I'm facing and the nearly working work-around
- problem: babel removes the resulting top stack element from the
stack
- tried solution: duplicate the last stack-element on evaluation with
"' " (emulate <space> press to duplicate the top element of the
stack in calc)
- side effect: I normally delete trailing whitespace in my files - so
entering "' " is a dangerous workaround
- I tried to local-set-key the § key to calc-enter which I thought
should enable a command "'§" to duplicate the top of stack. On
evaluation this resulted in an error "byte-code: Wrong type
argument: number-or-marker-p, nil"

** hope for a solution or work around from the community
- preferred: Is there a way to leave the top of stack from one snippet
to the next (which I don't know)?
- alternative: Is there a way to duplicate the top of stack element
between begin/end_src calc blocks?
- any advice is appreciated.
