Dear ESI-Scilab devs,
Errors numbers are announced as removed in Scilab 6. Yet, some related
features are still active, for instance:
--> error(123)
error: Wrong type for input argument #1: string expected. // OK
--> error(123, "message") // Is this syntax intended to be kept?
message
--> [t, n] = lasterror()
n =
123.
t =
message
--> execstr("error(456, ""message"")", "errcatch")
ans =
456.
It looks a bit hard to remove the 2nd lasterror() output, because this
would shift last ones (max 4 argouts), and so trigger
back-compatibility issues for nothing.
But for lasterror() as for execstr(), the question is, noticeably to
be able to update the documentation in a relevant and reliable way:
Are specific errors numbers planned to still be possible --then, what
for? --, or will a unique 10000 error number be used as a filling
output for lasterror() and as a simple output flag for execstr()?
There is also the case of the 999 error number heavily used in the
hard code. If 2 distinct error numbers are kept as "standard" flags, i
guess that the distinct meaning of each of them shall be explained..
Looking forward to reading you
What i understand:
* Contrarily to what has been announced: error numbers are not removed
6.0 CHANGES:
Feature changes and additions
o |error|: an error number in the input is deprecated.
=> This is wrong
*
In Scilab 6:
o
There is no longer any dedicated specific error numbers for some
frequent error messages: numbers and messages are now
independent. They are just 2 ways to tag an error.
o
As a consequence: error() can no longer be called only with a
number. Indeed, an explicit message must now be provided, since
now no message is ascribed to a number
Is this right? Can we go with this description, or do you really want to
deprecate numbers and actually remove them in 6.1 or later?
Thanks
Samuel
