 Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:43 pm Post subject: Strings accepted on byref parameters |
 |
|
Why not accepting strings directly in functions with byref parameter, like optional one?
This cannot break any existing script, because strings on byrefs are currently a violation.
AutoHotkey could create inside the function a temporary variable initialized with the given string.
Example:
| Code: | ; wish: strings accepted on byref parameters
msgbox % get("Hello") ; Should return "Hello World!".
get(byref m)
{
m .= " World!"
Return m
} |

| I agree. I can't think of any reason this shouldn't be allowed since byref parameters with with defaults values are allowed now. |

Is this really that hard to type?
| Code: | | msgbox % get(_:="Hello") |

Sorry I misread something, please ignore this post of me!!!!
Sean, no, it isnt that hard. But users of that function may not know, that is a byref var and it is a little bit fever to write. I dont want to think back if the param is byref or not. |

You don't need to. AutoHotkey will yell it at you when you try to run the script.  |
