This seems to be gone as of 3.1.1. Could someone close this? 

sage: m = matrix([])
sage: m.smith_form()
 ([], [], [])

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

In 3.2.2.alpha0 this works fine as long as the matrix has 0 rows and 0 columns, but for 0 rows and a nonzero number of columns (or vice versa) we still get the error. This arises from the fact that Pari doesn't have the notion of a matrix with 0 rows and 1 column, so the matrix gets "truncated" (!) before being passed to Pari.

I will fix this as part of #4681.

Hi David,

usually the release manager does the closing of a ticket once the fix has been merged. Until then it stays open.

Cheers,

Michael

I'm sorry for overstepping my authority. Anyway, the fix is now up at #4681.

Don't worry about it because it is one of those unwritten rules :)
