Hello,
Using gretl-1.9.1 with libgretl, i discovered that
destroy_dataset does not free all memory allocated by laggenr.
In file transform.c into get_transform function, testvec allocate an
array which is never freed.
Is there another way to free this memory ?
thanks

The testvec function allocates library workspace that is not part
of the dataset. This memory is freed by gretl_transforms_cleanup,
which is called by the general exit function, libgretl_cleanup.

New subject: localized package functions
We already have in gretl a very useful structure to build (graphical)
user function packages. But when we are working in a non-english
language and want to create a function package, we have to decide
whether to write the parameter strings in English or in our specific
language.
Allin, do you think it would be possible to allow a second (or third
...) language in the parameter strings? I mean to implement a way that
the user could create a package function such that if the function is
run in an English environment, the dialog box strings appears in
English, but if the function is executed for example, in a Spanish
system these strings appear in Spanish.
I don't know if what I am thinking is very complicated to code or not.
I am thinking that the user could specify, the strings for example in
this way:
<script>
function series rate(series y "Variable to transform", scalar k
"order")
string param1_es = "Variable a transformar"
string param2_es = "Orden"
series y_rate=(y-y(-k))/y(-k)
return y_rate
end function
</script>

Yes, that's something I've considered myself.

Yes, I think we could do something like that. I'll think about the
best way to do it, but the suggestion you make above looks pretty
good.
Allin.
