bug with "const" in function
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
this is a bug that is probably triggered only in unusual circumstances,
but it happened to me in a kind-of real world function development scenario:
<hansl>
clear
function void serc (const series s) # the 'const' here is important
if exists(s)
print "to be"
else
eval typename(s)
print "or not to be"
&…
[View More]nbsp; endif
end function
open denmark
print "call 1"
serc(LRM)
print "call 2"
serc(const) # "const" is a series ID 0 in all datasets
# -> produces "null" and "or not to be", as if "s" inside the function
didn't exist
</hansl>
Notice two things: No gretl errors are thrown here, so it's not that
gretl doesn't recognize "const" as a valid series argument. Secondly,
when the function signature doesn't have the "const" arg modifier, then
it works fine.
This is with snapshot Jan 27th.
thanks
sven
