Issue #18942 has been updated by Henrik Lindberg.
I understood that the purpose of adding xor was mainly for checking exclusivity among parameters. One idea is to write a function instead. Unfortunately, none of the standard lib functions have a perfect fit for this (does not improve anything over writing the logic with and/or/not), but a count function would be helpful, or perhaps even better, write some asserter functions. and make it a module of its own. <pre> count([$a,$b,$c]) # count non nil/undef by default count([$a,$b,$c], 42) # count number of entries == 42 </pre> or write an asserter function <pre> assert_exactly_one($a, $b, $c, "Only one of the parameters a, b, c can be set") </pre> ---------------------------------------- Feature #18942: Puppet should have a xor operator https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18942#change-82201 Author: Erik Dalén Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Erik Dalén Category: parser Target version: 3.2.0 Affected Puppet version: Keywords: xor parser Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1436 There should be a 'xor' operator in puppet to complement and & or. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
