[Gretl-devel] getline() and non-pointer argument

Hi, as nicely documented, the getline() function works with a source and a target argument, which are used as in: getline(source, target) Syntactically, shouldn't it rather be getline(source, &target) ? I thought that in hansl a function argument can only be modified if a pointer to it is passed. Compare the mols() or the eigen() syntax. Are there other functions with writable non-pointerized arguments? (In any case, the old form could maybe continue to be allowed for compatibility.) thanks sven
