  • Negative array index is being caught when accessing a value (p instruction), but is not caught when assigning a value (P instruction)
  • Adapt existing guard code from 'p' instruction
  • For consistency with undefined-function error, replace YYERROR call with "last INSTR"
  • Only the 2nd-from-top ope_stack element is needed; fetch it with splice instead of pop+push dance for $value
%perl bc -d # before patch
ary[-1]
instruction: N, 1
instruction: m_
instruction: p, ary
Non-integer index -1 for array

ary[-1] = 123
instruction: N, 1
instruction: m_
instruction: N, 123
instruction: P, ary
instruction: =P
