I didn't read remember if the type was needed and didn't read the documentation in enough detail. It is good that the existing syntax includes the type, otherwise the implementation could be ambiguous. HAL has separate name-spaces for pins, parameters, signals, functions, and threads. In hind-sight, that was probably a bad idea, it allows to have multiple things with the same name and thus forces the user to specify the type of thing he is referring to. Too late to change it now, it would break any config that re-uses names. So it goes. > i will check the source and if it can be done without much > trouble i can come up with a patch. The original alias command was added in a series of patches from 18-Nov-2008 thru 29-Nov-2008, looking at those diffs might be helpful. It looks like I went down at least one blind alley, on 24-Nov I reverted a bunch of work and started over. -- John Kasunich [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
