3. There is a new compiler bug since Poplog Version 15.52.
Reporters: Brian Logan and Aaron Sloman
When compiling a file which ends with a comment and which does NOT end
with a newline character, a mishap is produced:
;;; MISHAP - ATTEMPT TO READ CLOSED DEVICE
;;; INVOLVING: <device 'filename.p'>
;;; DOING : (Sys$-Incharitem) null nextitem ....
This is in V15.52 and V15.53, but not in V15.5
Probably requires a fix in $popsrc/item.p
The problem definitely did not exist in Poplog version 15.5. It looks
like the sort of bug that may be have inadvertently introduced as a
result of a change to handle special characters in Ved files.
Can anyone who understands the source file for incharitem help?
Thanks.
Aaron
