Description

  • (KiranKedlaya?) Calling GAP commands via gap("command") reacts badly when the command does not return a value, e.g., gap('Read("myfile.txt")').

Do you mean gap.eval('Read("myfile.txt")') is flaky? If so, can you give an example?

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

This is a misunderstanding about using gap(s) versus gap.eval(s). This is not a bug. gap(s) is supposed to always create a new gap object.
