Package: gnuplot Version: 4.6.4-1~bpo70+1 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, When running a "call" command with arguments, if the called file runs a "load" command, then the arguments are destroyed. For example, if there are three files in the current directory: experiment.plot: set samples 1000 set pointsize 2.5 call "experiment.plotcall" "1" experiment.plotcall: load "experiment.plotload" set terminal postscript eps monochrome enhanced dashed dashlength 2 22 size 6.6in, 4.45in set output "experiment.eps" plot 'flibble$0.out' experiment.plotload: <empty file> then the command "gnuplot experiment.plot" is run with version 4.6.4-1~bpo70+1, then the following error message will be given: "experiment.plotcall", line 6: warning: Skipping unreadable file "flibble.out" "experiment.plotcall", line 6: No data in plot whereas with version 4.4.0, the following error message is given: "experiment.plotcall", line 6: warning: Skipping unreadable file "flibble1.out" "experiment.plotcall", line 6: No data in plot Note that the argument "1" has been destroyed. If the "load" command is removed from experiment.plotcall, then the argument is preserved. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnuplot depends on: ii gnuplot-x11 [gnuplot-nox] 4.6.0-8 gnuplot recommends no packages.
