Re: [Bug-apl] Localizing ⎕CT

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Jay, I see, thanks. I believe both methods (keeping the current value or using a default value) are reasonable approaches. My primary goal was to have some reasonable value for all ⎕-variables, so that I can avoid tests all over the place (in particular for ⎕IO and ⎕CT). I would also say that a well-written APL program should not make use of this "feature". To avoid incompatibilities with existing GNU APL programs, I believe I should not touch the current behavior. /// Jürgen On 08/21/2015 12:40 PM, Jay Foad wrote: FYI this is different from NARS2000 and Dyalog, which leave ⎕-variables set to their current value, rather than setting them to some default value.

Instead of leaving ⎕-variables undefined and raising the according error when referenced, GNU APL sets them to their default values when they are being localized.
