Is there an incompatibility between the packages calc and siunitx? (GenericError […])

The following code does not compile:



documentclass[11pt]article
usepackagecalc
usepackagesiunitx
begindocument
begintabularp.5cmpwidthoftextbfAAAAAAAAAl
&textbfAAAAAAAAA&XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
&textbfBBBBB&YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY\
endtabular
enddocument


However, it does compile, when the line



usepackagesiunitx


is omitted. Interchanging the loading order of the packages does not help.



Error message:




! Undefined control sequence.
GenericError ...
#4 errhelp @err@ ...
l.5 ...r}p.5cmpwidthoftextbfAAAAAAAAAl
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `Ihbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

    It is no siunitx but array (loaded by siunitx). It changes the way tabular preambles are handled.

    The main problem is the fragile textbf. You can robustify it usepackageetoolboxrobustifytextbf.

array package should probably have made this safe, one way to patch it is



 documentclass[11pt]article
usepackagecalc
usepackagearray
usepackageetoolbox
makeatletter
patchcmd @mkpream
let@sharprelax
defwidthof##1unexpandedwidthof##1let@sharprelax

makeatother
begindocument
begintabularp.5cmpwidthoftextbfAAAAAAAAAl
&textbfAAAAAAAAA&XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
&textbfBBBBB&YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY\
endtabular

  • I have now added a fix to the array package (somewhat more general than the above). The next release of LaTeX's tools (planned for December 2018) will contain this.
