@prawnsushi My system is so underpowered I stopped scripting all together. 
@Reptorian sure loves to optimize.

Why don’t you just upgrade or borrow someone else’s PC? 
Upgrading needs $$$. Borrowing needs people willing to give it to him. Plus, with that much hiatus, he will need to take his time to recover to then have the mindset to code. Even I’m struggling with that as I been G’MICing a little less.
Well, i’m using my work laptop for G’mic. That’s why it’s a " mac " Linux.
blah blah
But it’s a bit faster that my pseudo gaming tower. And i can G’mic anywhere.
But i’m tempted to get something else with more ram, but i fear it might be slower than the M1 chip. Maybe i’ll just try to switch kde to lxde or something else.
Well, a potato pc wouldn’t stop me from making crappy filters anyway. I’d just “unsafely reboot” more often 
Looks like something went wrong with rotate_tileable :
<gmic>./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Enter scope '*foreach/'.
<gmic>./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Item[41]: 'theta:=atan2($p,$q)' -> 'theta:=atan2(1,1)', selection [].
[gmic]./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Set local variable 'theta:=atan2(1,1)'->'0.78539816339744828'.
<gmic>./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Item[42]: 'gcd:=gcd(h*$q,w*$p)' -> 'gcd:=gcd(h*1,w*1)', selection [].
[gmic]./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Set local variable 'gcd:=gcd(h*1,w*1)'->'32'.
<gmic>./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Item[43]: 'pw:=h*$q/$gcd' -> 'pw:=h*1/32', selection [].
[gmic]./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Set local variable 'pw:=h*1/32'->'16'.
<gmic>./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Item[44]: 'nw:=round($pw*w/cos($theta))' -> 'nw:=round(16*w/cos(0.78539816339744828))', selection [].
[gmic]./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Set local variable 'nw:=round(16*w/cos(0.78539816339744828))'->'18102'.
<gmic>./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Item[45]: 'gcd!=gcd(h*$p,w*$q)' -> 'gcd!=gcd(h*1,w*1)', selection [].
<gmic>./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Command 'input': arguments = 'gcd!=gcd(h*1,w*1)'.
[gmic]./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ Input file 'gcd!=gcd(h*1' at position 1
[gmic]./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ *** Error *** Command 'input': File 'gcd!=gcd(h*1', format does not take any input options (options 'w*1)' specified).
[gmic] *** Error in ./rotate_tileable/*foreach/ *** Command 'input': File 'gcd!=gcd(h*1', format does not take any input options (options 'w*1)' specified).
gcd!=gcd(h*$p,w*$q) << “!=” looks suspicious ?
Is there an issue with https://gmicol.greyc.fr/? I recall there being more, including the ability to choose a sample image. Could be something being blocked from my end. It has been a while since I visited, so perhaps I am misremembering.

Spurious gmic update error that is not reproducing. This gmic was built ~15 minutes ago, from the develop branch, commit: d56391e307de 2024-03-15 17:08:14.
FYI. Maybe no actions are needed. Details:

No follow-on misbehavings with gmic. 
I’m interested by this @grosgood . A bug is a bug, whatever it can be reproduced easily or not
Is it possible you compile with make valgrind and do $ valgrind gmic update to see what happens?
Alternately, make debug , then $ gmic update is another hope to make the bug appear !

Yes, but not right now. In the midst of domestic chores. But a Sunday Morning After Breakfast debug session is in the offing. Let’s see if a decent stack trace can be had…
Stay tuned.

Haven’t broken gmic as I did early this AM. That remains the single failure. Have tried ten or so times now using a generic gmic and one built through the valgrind Makefile target. These have all been unexceptional; they fetched their respective update files and installed them in $HOME/.config/gmic.
The following is a canonical run. gmic is /usr/bin/gmic, a v. 3.2.4 that (I think) came from a generic gmic.eu debian binary install package some time ago. ./gmic (in the local build directory) was built with the valgrind Makefile target against commit d56391e307de. TLDR; Identical behavior. The warning, per StackOverflow, is not something that an end-user needs to care about: Warning: set address range perms:.

Thanks Garry.
I’ve worked a bit on the interpreter source code this week-end, so maybe you found a “temporary” bug that was unfortunately pushed.
I think I’ll write a post about what I made. This has absolutely no interest except for people following the advances of the G’MIC interpreter, but I’m quite happy about how it turned out.
Nice feature of git is that every commit is a snapshot. Can always establish a local branch, anytime, at d56391e307de ( call the branch mysterybug), build a debug gmic from that snapshot, run it under gdb with do { up x "rm -f $HOME/.config/gmic/update*.gmic"} while 1 pipeline or some such, and let it run and run and run in an otherwise idle virtual. Maybe eventually gdb will catch the oh-so-occasional ABORT and dump a stack. Have to snapshot the prevailing CImg.h at mysterybug too. Maybe the next Sunday Morning After Breakfast.
been watching the diffs from time to time…
