marpa_v_arg_0 is a very simple macro, designed for speed. It is initialized to -1 (an impossible value), so my guess is that you're using it uninitialized -- that things are not yet set up properly.

If this suggestion does not help, and if you could work up an example, I can look into this.

I have just bumped into a situation where the valuator always produces a rule step that has arguments beginning from -1 for a particular rule. The rule is a sequence of 5 symbols, and is also the start rule. The first two are the same terminal symbol. marpa_v_arg_0 gives -1. marpa_v_arg_n gives 3. When this rule step is reached, there are only 4 items on the stack, corresponding to the last 4 symbols in the rule. According to the libmarpa documentation, marpa_v_arg_0 never fails, and returns a valid stack position. -1 is not a valid stack position, so what's gone wrong? This problem only occurs when the first two symbols are a particular symbol. Is there something I must have done wrong with this symbol?

Other than this problem, I must say that libmarpa is a quite brilliant library for parsing.
