Package: gnu-smalltalk
Version: 3.2.5-1+b3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
1. install gnu-smalltalk from debian 9 main
2. launch gst REPL
3. enter 0.05 or 1e-4
4. expected: 0.05 or 0.0001
5. actual:
$ gst
st> x := 1e-4
Object: 1 error: The program attempted to divide a number by zero
ZeroDivide(Exception)>>signal (ExcHandling.st:254)
SmallInteger(Number)>>zeroDivide (SysExcept.st:1426)
Fraction>>setNumerator:setDenominator: (Fraction.st:485)
Fraction class>>numerator:denominator: (Fraction.st:66)
Fraction>>- (Fraction.st:151)
FloatE(Float)>>printOn:special: (Float.st:533)
FloatE(Float)>>printOn: (Float.st:436)
FloatE(Object)>>printString (Object.st:534)
FloatE(Object)>>printNl (Object.st:571)
this error is also present in the current unstable package
'gnu-smalltalk_3.2.5-1.1+b1_amd64.deb'
compiling from source fixes the problem
it was suggested on the gnu-smalltalk mailing list-1= that this error
may be caused by the package being compiled with option -pie; but it is
not clear that the -pie flag is the cause
`gcc -v` and `g++ -v` both show --enable-default-pie; but i can not
reproduce the 'ZeroDivide' problem compiling myself from git[2] -
compiling with all of the following flags produce the same (non-error)
result for 1e-4 and 0.05:
$ make CFLAGS='-no-pie'
$ make CFLAGS='-pie'
$ make
$ /usr/local/bin/gst
GNU Smalltalk ready
st> 0.05
0.05
