[Gretl-devel] Re: cnameset (rnameset): no error on mismatch

Hi,
when using cnameset (and presumably also rnameset) with input that
doesn't match the dimensions, nothing happens. See here:
<hansl>
matrix m = ones(2) # column
cnameset(m, defarray("a","b")) # doesn't match, should give an
error?
print m
</hansl>
I wonder if an error should be thrown instead? Or else perhaps the first
available elements of the array should be used?
Meybe, but it's operating per documentation: requiring a number of
strings equal to the number of columns and returning non-zero on
error.
? matrix m = ones(2)
Generated matrix m
? eval cnameset(m, defarray("a","b"))
