Reading numbers in other formats.

[Manolo <mpancorbo@gmail.com>]

I have a stupid problem with last version of PARI-GP, when reading
hexadecimal numbers in compiled way.

For example, the famous code:

------
hextodec(s) =
    { local(v=Vec(s), a=10,b=11,c=12,d=13,e=14,f=15,
                      A=10,B=11,C=12,D=13,E=14,F=15, h);

      for(i=1,#v,h = (h<<4) + eval(v[i])); h
    }
---------

works ok when captured as a gp function (say: read("hextodec.gp")):

? hextodec("1af9")
%1 = 6905

But when I run

$ gp2c-run -g hextodec.gp

I obtain:

? hextodec("1af9")
%1 = 256*a + (16*f + 4105)

Any clue?
