[GiNaC-devel] printing of class power

[Stefan Weinzierl]

Dear all,

happy new year to everybody and my apologies for coming up with a 
potential bug report shortly after a new release.

The code snippet

   symbol x("x");

   ex f = 2*x;
   ex g = pow(x,5);

   f.print(GiNaC::print_context(std::cout));
   std::cout << std::endl;

   g.print(GiNaC::print_context(std::cout));
   std::cout << std::endl;

will print

2*x
[power object]

Is that really intentional? The behaviour is the same in GiNaC 1.8.7 and 
1.8.8.

  Best wishes,

    Stefan
