Description (last modified by jdemeyer)

  1. GCC 4.6.3 miscompiles src/language/init.c on OS X 10.4 PPC (32-bit), because of a problem with pointer arithmetic in stack_base() called in pari_init_functions(). There is an easy work-around by reordering some code in the PARI sources. Related to #12369.

This is upstream bug ​http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49330

  1. PARI's ispower() function gives wrong results when applied to negative numbers. Related to #12116.

This is fixed upstream ​http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1302

  1. issquarefree(0) raises an error instead of returning 0. See #12636.

This is fixed upstream ​http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1304

There's another Pari issue: #12636. Should that be mentioned in this ticket also?

All test pass, including the ones in the pari spkg. I haven't checked it on an OS X 10.4 PPC though, but I trust that you did that yourself. The code looks okay, and the fix resolves the issues 2 and 3.
