Tests in PicoLisp

Hi, In lib/test.l I read: ««« Local usage: # ./pil lib/test.l -bye + »»» Shouldn't it be ««« bin/pil lib/test.l -bye + »»» or «./pil ../lib/test.l -bye +» or anything like that? Also, I humbly suggest (once again) this kind of target in the makefiles: ««« test: $(bin)/pil $(lib)/test.l -by

Re: Compiling for containers

This is also my fault. That error message "java: not found" is really stupid. I've changed it to some better diagnostics. - Alex Don't be so hard on yourself. I'd truly rather deal with a rare instance of ambiguous error messages (but with help from the community) than all of the other issues i

Re: help with list of capital letters as symbol property key

@Alex I'm surprised that (pick '((A B) (and (= A Value) B)) ListA ListB) is faster than (get ListB (index Value ListA)). It's true that get traverses ListB right after a traversal of ListA, but pick seems to do the same traversal of the same number of elements. The only difference is that pick trav

Loosing elements in a sorted list

Hi list, I have a problem. Whenever I sort a list stored in a symbol, some elements are erased from the original list. Look: : (setq A (3 2 5 4 1 1 1 1 0 1 2 4 5 )) -> (3 2 5 4 1 1 1 1 0 1 2 4 5) : (sort A) -> (0 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 5) : A -> (3 4 4 5 5) The pattern that I've noticed is that a

Re: Loosing elements in a sorted list

This is because A still points at the cons that was the head of the list before sorting. If you want to update it, you have to set A to the result of sort. On Dec 14, 2016 8:37 PM, "Bruno Franco" wrote: > Hi list, I have a problem. > > Whenever I sort a list stored in a symbol, some elements are
