A little bit of hunting showed that this is a result of STEM containing unconstrained strings, and it looks like the culprit is the v_aux_ell-lr rule. That rule fails to constrain the mother's STEM.FIRST value, and as a result, subsequent orthographemic rules (in this case, the abua-olr rule) can't tell what string they should be operating on. Possibly v_aux_ell-lr should pass up the daughter's STEM value?</div><div><br></div><div>I hope that helps,</div><div>Woodley</div><div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On May 5, 2020, at 9:09 PM, Luis Morgado da Costa <<a href="mailto:luis.passos.morgado@gmail.com" target="_blank">luis.passos.morgado@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Woodley (or anyone else who can help), </div><div><br></div><div>Ace is crashing unexpectedly with at least two sentences in a large regression test for ZHONG:</div><div>能不能借给我一枝笔？ (can-not-can lend me 1 CL pen?)<br></div><div>要不要借书？ (want-not-want borrow book?)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Our suspicion is that the problem arises from the interaction of this V-not-V question form in Mandarin, and the fact that in these examples the verbs are auxiliaries. </div><div>The same error does not happen, for example, for the sentence: </div><div><br></div><div>你吃不吃肉？ (you eat-not-eat mean?)</div><div><br></div><div>We repeatedly get the same error for these (and similar) sentences: </div><div><b>ace: type.c:625: type_to_string: Assertion `ty->name[0]=='"'' failed.</b></div><b>Aborted (core dumped)</b><div><br><div>=========================================================</div><div>$ ./ace -g zhong.dat <br>能不能借给我一枝笔？<br>ace: type.c:625: type_to_string: Assertion `ty->name[0]=='"'' failed.<br>Aborted (core dumped)<br></div><div><br></div><div>./ace -g zhong.dat <br><div>要不要借书？<br></div><div></div>ace: type.c:625: type_to_string: Assertion `ty->name[0]=='"'' failed.<br>Aborted (core dumped)<br></div><div>==========================================================</div><div><br></div><div>This happens both in ACE 0.9.30 and 0.9.31; However, it does not happen with LKB FOS (we get parses for both sentences above, see below).</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><span id="gmail-m_8491388651082578574cid:ii_k9usf45f0"><Screenshot from 2020-05-06 11-28-01.png></span><br></div></div><div><br></div><div><div><span id="gmail-m_8491388651082578574cid:ii_k9usfdcv1"><Screenshot from 2020-05-06 11-30-49.png></span><br></div></div><div><br></div><br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"></div></div></div></div></div></div><div>Is there anything we might be missing?
