Re: [bug-gawk] 2 questions

[Denis Shirokov]

Hi Eli,

I have attached file `BIN.piz' - it's a ZIP-archive(please rename file
extension to .zip and extract it).
This archive contain GAWK.EXE version 4.0.0 and gawk-source file
repro.gwk. Running this script by this GAWK will reproduce the
problem.

Actually i do not remeber from where i was get this GAWK but i think
it was some gnu sites. But i can be wrong.

I don't think that it is OS-dependent problem. I was seeing this issue
in GAWK 3.17b - this was at x32 OS system(WinXP and Win7).



Is there a way to request some useful feature in gawk? It's about
special array which will accessible  in function body. It should be
autodefined from 1 to n - and contain all input parameters given
function when its calling from somewhere. for example:
abc(10,11)

func abc(p0,p1,p2) {
# ARRAY[1]==10; ARRAY[2]==11; !(3 in ARRAY) - 3 not present in ARRAY
because only 2 parameters given
# ARRAY[0]==2 (two parameters given)
# ARRAY[""]=="abc" (function name itself)

... }

Thanx
Digi
