A strange error related to 5 version

[aborruso]

Dear @johnkerl ,
I do not know if I can open issues related to 5 version.

I have this input:

n1 q1 a1
n2 q2 a2
n3 q3 a3

If I run the command below using Miller v5.10.2

mlr --nidx label id,sequence,reply then put '$format="{\"type\":\"text\"}"' then reshape -i sequence,reply,format -o k,v input.txt

I have

free(): invalid pointer
[1]    3918 abort      mlr --nidx label id,sequence,reply then put '$format="{\"type\":\"text\"}"'

Using Miller 6 I have

n1 sequence q1
n1 reply a1
n1 format {"type":"text"}
n2 sequence q2
n2 reply a2
n2 format {"type":"text"}
n3 sequence q3
n3 reply a3
n3 format {"type":"text"}

If it no longer makes sense to open an issue for version 5, I close it.

Thank you

@aborruso memory corruption is definitely a bug :(

I can make a branch off of 5.10.3 and put up a fix. Then I can tag a 5.10.4 release. It'll be a "pre-release" and won't be available via any package manager but you'll be able to get a binary executable for it.

@aborruso https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/releases/tag/v5.10.4

Very sorry about the delay

[aborruso]

No problem to compile Miller 5 and it works. Thank you

Note: if I run ./mlr --version I have still Miller 5.10.3

@aborruso I recreated the tag https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/releases/tag/v5.10.4 with 5.10.4 in c/mlrvers.h -- thank you! :)
