Hi, here's a general question:
For a while now you could, for example, continue your function
definition on the next line without using the explicit continuation
character (backslash). Like this:
function void withmanyargs(int arg1,
int arg2)
...
OK, this also seems to work with other unmatched parentheses (round
brackets) pairs. I've just tested this with an errorif() function
stretched out over two lines, for example.
I don't think this is documented, or is it? Is this official and
reliably a part of the hansl syntax?
The criterion for automatic line-continuation is actually that a line
ends with a comma (outside of any comment, obviously).It's documented
in the Introduction to the Gretl Command Reference.
