Description (last modified by jdemeyer)

On sage 8.0 

sage: (x^2/(1+x)).coefficients()
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

gdb shows that this is an infinite recursion in the Pynac library:

  • Description modified (diff)

Confirmed. I added a minimal case.

comment:3 Changed 19 months ago by rws

  • Report Upstream changed from N/A to Reported upstream. Developers acknowledge bug.

The Pynac code does not check if the expression is a polynomial fraction in x. That case cannot be handled via coefficient() (the user should expand as a series). I will add a check to prevent this problem.

Pynac master has the fix. This branch adds doctests.

​617a64423545: segmentation fault with coefficients() on symbolic expressions

comment:6 Changed 18 months ago by rws

  • Priority changed from critical to major

While the core dump is fixed in develop, one of the doctests fails.

comment:7 Changed 18 months ago by rws

  • Dependencies pynac-0.7.10 deleted
  • Report Upstream changed from Fixed upstream, in a later stable release. to Not yet reported upstream; Will do shortly.

comment:8 Changed 15 months ago by rws

  • Dependencies set to #24262
  • Report Upstream changed from Not yet reported upstream; Will do shortly. to N/A

comment:9 Changed 15 months ago by charpent

Fixed by #24262. I will give positive review if necessary, but as suggest to matk it duplicate and close it (after positive review of #24262, pf course...)..

comment:10 Changed 15 months ago by rws

This ticket has doctests for #24147 too so let's make #24147 the duplicate.
