LuaTeX problems with \seeindex and \from

LuaTeX problems with \seeindex and \from

[Drazen Baic]

Hi,

this is my first posting to this list but I'm following it through the
archives for quite a long time.

First I would like to thank the list for this huge archive. By reading
the documentation and searching this archive most of my questions
about ConTeXt where answered. I searched for these problems but couldn't
find anything.

Now to my question: I was generating my documents with XeTeX until I
switched to LuaTeX and MKIV a few days ago. After I changed my
typescripts almost everything worked perfectly but the commands
\seeindex[]{}{} and \from[].

1) \seeindex simply doesn't seem to work. The index is generated but all
\seeindex entries are missing. It works perfectly when generated with
'texexec --xtx'. Generating the document with \version[temporary] shows
in the margin '> i Indexentry' and '> see Showindexentry' so it seems
that both entries are ok. I set up the register with
'\completeindex[interaction=text,align=yes]'

Is this a bug or are \seeindex entries handled different with LuaTeX?

2) The other problem took me quite some time to find out. When I create
the document with 'texexec --lua' LuaTeX it seems that everything runs
fine but no document is generated. There are no error messages even
with '--verbose' set - at least I couldn't see any. Finally I found out
that 'luatex' crashed during  'LuaTools | running command: luatex --fmt'
(see the CrashReporter log at the end of the mail).

I started to leave out all components of the product and started just
with the title page, then included chapter after chapter until I found
out the LuaTeX crashes when I leave the command \from[] in. I defined
the URL with \useURL[apache][http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi] and
am using it in the document with \from[apache].

Here are the versions I'm using.

OS: Mac OS X 10.5.2
ConTeXt: 2008.04.11 00:07
LuaTeX: snapshot-0.25.2-2008041101


Many thanks in advance and regards,
Drazen Baic

Can you please email me (or post) the smallest test file you can
make that crashes? For debugging, I really need a test file.

Best wishes,
Taco

can be a bug ... so you need to make a small example file

Hi,

Of course, I should have provided one in my first mail. Trying to create
a minimal test file I also found out that the crash only happens when
\setupinteraction [state=start] is set. Here is the file.

\setupinteraction [state=start]
\useURL[apache][http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi]

\starttext
\startitemize
 \item Download Apache at \from[apache]
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Hi,

Here is a small test file. Compiled with 'texexec --lua' the register
has only the entry 'Software 1' but it should have one additional
entry 'Apache see Software'. This works OK when compiled with
'texexec --xtx'

\starttext
\index{Software}Software
\seeindex{Apache}{Software}Apache

\placeindex
\stoptext

That example works OK for me, not even any warnings from valgrind.
But I am on linux-i686, so it could be a problem in the ppc build,
and I can't help you there. I hope someone else can take this up.

I get a bus error on mac intel as well.

The most funny part is that one doesn't even notice that fact when
running ConTeXt. It seems to run normally, only no PDF file is
created.

Bus errors often point to code alignment errors, so it
could be that the same problem manifests on all 64-bit
platforms. But that is about the only hint I can give,
someone has to debug the application.

Mojca helped debugging this, and there is a patch in the luatex
repository that should fix it. As Hans said already, you can expect
a new luatex binary and context release later this week.

You are really unbelievable fast in fixing bugs. Thank you very much!
And I would like to thank all the ConTeXt and LuaTeX developers.
This software is amazing!

This is not always the case, to be honest. Mostly, you are lucky that
luatex bugs are a top priority right now. Some of my bib module
bugs are have been open for years, I am ashamed to admit.

Taco

I just did an update to ConTeXt 2008.04.15 21:21 and it works perfectly
for my example above. But if you use abbreviations the 'see ...' entry in
the registers shows the value between the brackets in the abbreviation
definition. Here is a small example:

\definesynonyms [abbreviation] [abbreviations][\infull]
\setupsynonyms [abbreviation]
\abbreviation [GCc] {\sc gcc} {GNU C Compiler}
\abbreviation [GNU] {\sc gnu} {{\sc gnu'}s Not Unix}

\starttext
\index{Software}Software
\seeindex{Apache}{Software}Apache
\index[GCC]{\GCc}\GCc\
\seeindex[GNU C Compiler]{\GNU\ C Compiler}{\GCc}\GNU\ C Compiler

\placeindex

\stoptext

I defined the GCc abbreviation with small c on purpose to demonstrate
that 'GCc' shows up in the register instead of {\sc gcc}.

I tried to look at the file core-reg.lua and thought that the error has
to be at

if vv[1] == 'e' then
    -- format reference pagespec realpage
    flush(template.page:format(class,",",vv[4],vv[5],vv[3]))
elseif vv[1] == 's' then
    flush(template.see:format(class,",",vv[5],vv[3]))

but as I know nothing about Lua I gave up pretty soon.

I played a little bit around with the above sample and thought that
putting a second '\' in front of the second argument for the \seeindex
command could help as it looks like the abbreviation \GCc looses the
backslash when the 'see' entry is generated in the registry.

As this was working I looked at the '.toc' file and saw that the key and
entry values are enclosed between [===[ and ]===] but the abbreviation
\GCc wasn't. I thought that maybe this works like an escaping mechanism
and changed the command \mksaveregistersee in core-reg.mkiv from

\def\mksaveregistersee#1#2#3#4#5#6#7% class type reference key entry
see pagespec
  {\expanded{\writeutilitytua{ti(jr['#1'],{'#2','#3',\!!bs#4\!!es,\!!bs#5\!!es,'#6','#7'})}}}

to

\def\mksaveregistersee#1#2#3#4#5#6#7% class type reference key entry
see pagespec
  {\expanded{\writeutilitytua{ti(jr['#1'],{'#2','#3',\!!bs#4\!!es,\!!bs#5\!!es,\!!bs#6\!!es,'#7'})}}}

and it worked. I don't know if this breaks something else and if I was
right with what
I thought but the register is now created correctly and I couldn't see
anything weird
going on.
