[SOLVED] CAS `solve` crash on simple expression with two variables - danielmewes - 12-18-2016 06:25 AM UPDATE: I got this working by re-flashing the firmware, using the procedure described here http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-4042-post-65729.html#pid65729 . So it looks like this was a false alarm. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enter CAS mode 2. Enter `solve(x*y=0)` 3. Press Enter to evaluate 4. If the calculator doesn't reboot immediately, copy and evaluate the command a few more times (the first time seems to be enough to corrupt memory, but it doesn't always reboot immediately) Observed behavior: Calculator reboots Software Version: 2016 08 29 (10637) I did a reset to factory settings. I also tried reproducing this on the Android emulator, but wasn't able to do so. I'm not sure if this is a regression or not. Is anyone still running an older firmware and willing to test this out?

Though it's possible that there's still memory corruption, and it just doesn't cause a crash. RE: [Bug] CAS `solve` crash on simple expression with two variables - parisse - 12-18-2016 08:25 AM I checked giac with valgrind, no memory corruption detected. RE: [Bug] CAS `solve` crash on simple expression with two variables - danielmewes - 12-18-2016 08:31 AM Thanks for checking! I think it might have been a false alarm. Sorry about that. I just downgraded my calculator to 2016 06 17 and the crash didn't occur anymore. Then I upgraded back to the latest 2016 08 29, and it's still working fine. My only explanation is that the firmware on my Prime somehow got corrupted when I updated it earlier today. It did hang at the end of the update and I had to reset it, though the connectivity kit said that the update had been complete at that point. RE: [SOLVED] CAS `solve` crash on simple expression with two variables - DrD - 12-18-2016 10:08 AM If I recall correctly, it was suggested to create a backup, then "Format Disk C," (Using the prime's C-F-O [ON], Option 4, utility), before launching the upgrade. This might have prevented that problem. -Dale- |
