Maybe allow <attribute> have another <attribute> that allows it to be undeclared with default or passed in, so we can set it inside the macrodef, such as "newcurrent".
Example: <macrodef name="recursive"> <attribute name="until"/> <attribute name="current"/> <attribute name="method"/> <attribute name="newcurrent" staticscope="true"/> ... </macrodef> Then when you call "recursive" such as this: <recursive until="10" current="0" method="blah"/> it won't die that you did not pass "newcurrent". the "staticscope" attribute name could be something else, or scope="static" and a list of others that could be used. -- Larry > -----Original Message----- > From: peter reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 12:43 AM > To: Ant Developers List > Subject: Re: Macrodef and parallel in a recursive situation > > > The parellel would cause grief. > The problem is not the attribute, I think > but the "newcurrent" global "variable". > > On using macrodef, I have noticed that > it would be really cool to have a static scopped > variable. > > Peter > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
