Follow-up Comment #10, bug #58447 (project groff): Minor clarifications and updates:
[comment #0 original submission:] > Groff 1.22.3 fails immediately with this error. The latest > groff code from git eventually fails with this error after > emitting a few thousand lines of backtrace messages. Groff 1.23 fails in the same way as reported for 1.22.3 above. The backtrace lines I observed were likely not any difference in groff, but in the test-groff script, where such messages were turned on by default before 1.22.4 ([http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=655e5020 commit 655e5020], reverted in 2021's [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=5aaf04cd commit 5aaf04cd]). > Triggering the bug seems to require specific combinations of > values in the -me registers tp, tm, and $v, While [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=47600ca4 commit 47600ca4] renamed -me's $v register, the old name is currently supported for back compatibility, so the attached test still demonstrates the bug without modification. [comment #2 comment #2:] > With the fixes in bug report #55081 and bug report #58736 > I do not get any errors. Bug #55081 and bug #58736 both have fixes that made it into groff 1.23, but the current bug remains. Part of what #58736 reported endues as bug #63176 (to which Branden has been patiently awaiting my response for nearly a year). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58447> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
