 Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2007 11:38 pm Post subject: Variables in functions - Dont know how to solve this |
 |
|
I have split up a lot of code in a number of functions. There is one mother function and several child functions. I want all the variables to be accessible to all functions in this cluster, but I want them to be inaccessible to other parts of the applications, and I want them to become garbage collected every time the application finishes using this cluster.
In other words, I want variables to be global to each other within a cluster of function and global to the rest of the code.
Is this explicitly doable? Can it be solved somehow? |

I think probably not easily. you could maybe have a seperate ahk file running, which would get garbage collected when it's closed.
Not pretty, but could work.

No. However the best alternative is to pass the variables ByRef between functions. Then any changes to that variable by a child function will be seen by the mother function.
Example:
| Code: | MotherFunction() {
local var1, var2, var3
ChildFunction1(var1)
ChildFunction2(var2, var3)
MsgBox, %var1% %var2% %var3%
}
ChildFunction1(ByRef par1) {
par1 := "a"
}
ChildFunction2(ByREf par1, ByRef par2) {
par1 := "b"
par2 := "c"
} |
