Seems to me like that would be against the grain of CFML being a
weakly typed or "untyped" language, since there isn't any "int" or
"String" data type... Though it wouldn't be difficult at all to
produce this sort of thing on your own...
function declare(list,type) {
var x = 0;
var v = structnew();
if (arraylen(arguments) gt
2 and isstruct(arguments[3])
{ v = arguments[3] }
list = listtoarray(list);
for (x = 1; x lte arraylen(list); x = x + 1) {
switch (type) {
case "string": { v[list[x]] = ""; break; }
case "int": { v[list[x]] = 0; break; }
case "struct" { v[list[x]] = structnew(); break; }
}
}
return v;
}
function somethingElsxe() {
var local = declare("filepath,filename,extension","string");
declare("linesread,lineswritten,timeout","int");
}
Granted, it does require you to place the variables in a var'ed local
structure, though personally I don't see that as any disadvantage. I'm
in the habbit of putting function variables in a structure anyway,
that way I only have to var the structure, and if I need to see what's
in the structure at any given time I can just dump that structure,
which isn't readily available with individually var'ed variables.
