[GiNaC-list] issues with simplify_indexed()

[Ulrich Loup]

Hi,

I modified your code to output more details (I split the problematic line into 
several pieces) as follows:

#include <iostream>
#include <ginac/ginac.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace GiNaC;

int main()
{
        symbol i_sym("i"), j_sym("j"), k_sym("k"), 
               l_sym("l"), m_sym("m"), n_sym("n");
        idx i(i_sym, 2), j(j_sym, 2), k(k_sym, 2), 
            l(l_sym, 2), m(m_sym, 2), n(n_sym, 2);

        symbol alpha_sym("\\alpha"), beta_sym("\\beta"), gamma_sym("\\gamma");
        idx Va(alpha_sym, 3), Vb(beta_sym, 3), Vg(gamma_sym, 3);

        symbol U("U"), v("v"), h("h");

        exvector IJKLMNVec;
        idx IJKLMNIA[] ={i, j, k, l, m, n};
        IJKLMNVec.assign (IJKLMNIA,IJKLMNIA+6);

        ex myEx1 = indexed(h, IJKLMNVec)*indexed(U, i, Va);
        cout << "myEx1: " << myEx1 << endl;
        ex myEx2 = myEx1*indexed(U, k, Vb)*indexed(U, m, Vg);
        cout << "myEx2: " << myEx2 << endl;
	ex myEx3 = myEx2*indexed(v, j, Va);
        cout << "myEx3: " << myEx3 << endl;
	ex myEx4 = myEx3*indexed(v, l, Vb);
        cout << "myEx4: " << myEx4 << endl;
 	ex myEx5 = myEx4*indexed(v, n, Vg);
 	cout << "myEx5: " << myEx5 << endl;

        cout << "myEx5.simpl: " << myEx5.simplify_indexed() << endl;

        return 0;
}

The output shows the "myEx5" line, but nothing more. So, the error is in 
"simplify_indexed". I'm no expert, but maybe this helps a little.

Regards,

Ulrich.
