Free42 POSA issue

Post by dlachieze »

I’ve found a difference between Free42 and the HP-42S with the POSA instruction: the following program returns 0 on the HP-42S, which is the expected result, while on Free42 it returns -1 (tested with Free42 v2.0.11 on Windows and DM42 and v2.0.14 on Android ).

Code: Select all

00 { 19-Byte Prgm }
01▸LBL "TPOSA"
02 CLA
03 65
04 XTOA
05 ASTO ST X
06 POSA
07 END

There is a bug in POSA that makes it not find the searched-for string if its only occurrence is at the very end of the alpha register. I'll fix this in 2.0.15.

I already saw the update in the Apple store. That’s a quick turnaround time. I was under the impression that it took months to get updates released with Apple.

No, it was never *that* bad. When I first released Free42 for iOS, in 2009, it took two weeks. Then they got it down to one week, and lately, it's been one to two days.

Let's not forget your recent spat with Apple over the use of "Free" in the application's name. :evil:

That was unpleasant, but it did get resolved in a satisfactory manner: I appealed, they relented.
But yeah, it does add another reason to my list of why iOS is my least favorite platform to develop for... :roll:
