Re: flisseq() and filtre()

Hi,

I tested the behavior of filter() of today's CVS version (es.c is of
the version string: $Id: es.c,v 1.75 2002/02/27 20:30:34 karim Exp $)
and found that it acted as we expected.

Reentrance is nice. But pari library itself seems far from being
reentrant (almost all function calls touch pari stack, so almost all
function calls may be critical).

Thanks again. It works fine.

By the way, I now wonder the behavior of lisGEN(). This function reads
a line from a file (given by FILE pointer), evaluates the line and
returns its result. If the line ends with line-continuation `\', it is
natural that lisGEN() reads the next line. So I propose the following
modification:

       free(buf); return x;

Well, I could not find any reason why flisexpr() is used instead of
using flisseq()...

Sincerely.
