Re: PSPP-BUG: address@hidden: psppire is fragile]

[John Darrington]

I've pushed a (rather kludgy) fix for this problem into the stable
branch.  In the master branch, this part of the code has been
completely rewritten, and is much more robust.

     Package: pspp
     Version: 0.6.1-2
     Severity: normal
     
     
     The GUI is pretty fragile:
     
     Launch psppire.
     Hit <down>.
     Click on "Insert Case".  Get obscure error message:
     
     ** (psppire:14579): CRITICAL **: psppire_data_store_insert_new_case: 
assertion `val_cnt > 0' failed
     
     Hit <right>.
     Click on "Insert Variable".  Application crashes:
     
     psppire: src/data/dictionary.c:590: dict_reorder_var: Assertion `new_index 
< d->var_cnt' failed.
     Aborted (core dumped)
     
     I suggest psppire should be more robust against the user doing dumb things.
