Re: [Gretl-devel] gretl warnings in output: difference between packages and plain scripts?

Hi,
I'm seeing a difference in the output between what (I think) is the same
code, depending on whether it is called as a function package or whether it
is run as unpackaged scripts. With the package (run with gretlcli.exe) from
the CLI I'm getting warnings:
<gretl-output>
In regard to function VARboot (package johansensmall):
Warnung: erzeugte nichtendliche Werte
</gretl-output>
(meaning "created non-finite values")
And when I run the some code with gretlcli but not in a packaged form, those
warnings are absent. I have inserted a "set warnings off" into that code
where I think it could be necessary, and I would like to mute those warnings
also in the package.
So my question is: What could explain this different behavior? Is it
intended? How to switch off the warnings inside a package?
I created a trivial gfn that produces a matrix with a NaN in it, then
ran a script that calls it, as follows:
include ./warntest.gfn
nulldata 10
set verbose off
matrix M = myfun()
print M
In this case I saw the message
In regard to function myfun (package warntest):
Warning: generated non-finite values
However, if I inserted "set warnings off" in the caller that
suppressed the message. So I'm not sure what's happening in your case.
Could you perhaps send me a caller for johansensmall.gfn that provokes
a warning?
