I would like to store variables in a hash, I would then like to be able to save
and restore values from a file, I would also like to be able to "serve" values
from this hash in a type safe way.
Perhaps I'm missing something (if so, please tell me what) but if I understand
things correct I can store a int32 in an hash:
Sub set(name as String, value as Int32)
pStorage.value( name ) = value
End Sub
and then return the same value now as an uint8
Sub get(name as String, byref value as UInt8)
value = pStorage.value( name ).uInt32Value
End Sub
It doesn't seem like there is something to prevent this from happening and no
way for me to detect this:
dim p as new TestStorage
dim v as uInt8
p.set( "testing", 2837223 )
p.get( "testing", v )
msgBox str(v)
this works and results in 231, I had hoped that I would be able to prevent this.
