Still here in Lucid. ** Tags added: apport-collected
** Description changed: Binary package hint: openoffice.org ReDim (and Dim) throw a run-time error if UpperBound = (LowerBound-1). For example Dim foo(0 to 9) ... ReDim foo(0 to -1) 'causes error This should not be an error, but should make the array contain zero elements. Note that arrays can be declared as empty with Dim foo() which has the save effect as ReDim foo(0 to -1) [except that it works...]. However that form does not allow easy use in algorithms which compute array bounds at run-time and may validly want to result an empty array. DEMO: See attached file. For example sub RemoveLastElements(ary(), n) ReDim Preserve ary(LBound(ary) to UBound(ary)-n) end sub ... should work for for n up to and including the total number of elements, but instead you currently have to code it like this: sub RemoveLastElements(ary(), n) if UBound(ary)-LBound(ary) > n then ReDim Preserve ary(LBound(ary) to UBound(ary)-n) else ReDim ary() end if end sub ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Nov 4 14:25:11 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin Package: openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1 [modified: var/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/services.rdb] ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: openoffice.org Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic x86_64 + + + --- + Architecture: amd64 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) + Package: openoffice.org-calc 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4 + PackageArchitecture: amd64 + ProcEnviron: + PATH=(custom, user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.33-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 + Tags: lucid + Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic x86_64 + UserGroups: adm admin audio cdrom dialout dip fax floppy fuse games lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare tape users vboxusers video -- ReDim to empty does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
