[Gretl-devel] argname() with bundle members
Hi,
a tricky situation:
<hansl>
function void hey(matrix mm)
string huhu = argname(mm)
slen = strlen(huhu)
print slen
end function
bundle bc = null
matrix bc.m = zeros(3,2)
hey(bc.m)
</hansl>
The length of the argname(mm) result string is zero. According to the
argname doc, this happens if the argument was passed "anonymously". I
understand that it's not really clear what the argname of bc.m should
be, being a member of a bundle. However, this limitation is kind of
unsatisfactory IMO, because I'm passing the correct parameter type to
the function, but then it breaks down because the parameter happens to
come from inside a bundle, which should be irrelevant from the point of
view of the function.
Hm, as I said, tricky to resolve.
thanks,
sven
