Segfault in nw_prune's help

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hi Thomas,

I have installed the development version of Newick Utils. I love the improved pruning code in nw_prune. You should release a new version of Newick Utils because I am sure that other people will appreciate the changes as well.

However, I have found a minor issue:

$ nw_prune -h
[...]
# same, using clade labels:
$ nw_prune -v data/catarrhini Hominidae Colobinae
Segmentation fault

Apart from this the programs seems to run fine.
Best,

Florent

Hi Florent,

thanks for pointing this one out. I have fixed it and pushed the fix onto Github (it's commit 0ea4539, that is, the latest commit in branch master).

And you're right, I should release a new version. I am now well on my way to finishing the new version of the manual, written in ConTeXt. I will release the new version of the whole package as soon as this is done (roughly 90 pages out of 110). I expect to be done by the end of the winter.

Thomas

Well done with the bug fix, Thomas. Thanks.
