[REBOL] Bug! in assignment to date! values with stacked set-path values
From: al::bri::xtra::co::nz at: 12-Nov-2002 20:04
Here's an example:
>> x: now/date
== 12-Nov-2002
>> x/day: 1 ; Try individually; OK!
== 1
>> x
== 1-Nov-2002
>> x/month: 1 ; Try individually; OK!
== 1
>> x
== 1-Jan-2002 ; And the expected value is shown.
>> x: now/date ; Get fresh value.
== 12-Nov-2002
>> x/month: x/day: 1 ; Now stack up the assignments.
== 1 ; correct value is returned, but...
>> x
== 12-Jan-2002 ; Note that only the MONTH is altered...
>> x: now/date ; Get fresh value.
== 12-Nov-2002
>> x/day: x/month: 1 ; Reverse the order....
== 1
>> x ; Note that only the DAY is altered...
== 1-Nov-2002
It's buggy on Rebol/Core, Rebol/View, Rebol/Base and all the beta versions.
The work around for now is to separate the assignments, as shown in the
first few steps.
I've just sent this in to feedback.
