Bug Report : u(0,1) is not a const

This used to work before.

rep_u_test:
1,1,1,1 eval. "const v=u(0,1);"

Error:

[gmic] *** Error in ./rep_u_test/ (file 'C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\user.gmic', line #2) *** Command 'eval': Operator '=': Second argument (of type 'scalar') is not a constant, in expression 'const v=u(0,1)'.

Random numbers can’t be constants…?

It used to work before. You can verify that with stock 2.9.4.

I am using 2.9.4. Perhaps it is a bug since our experiences don’t match.

I must be misremembering then. I guess I’ll just have to figure out my workaround.

There is no way the result of u() can be considered as a const value.
If this was working before, then it was a bug.
