RE: [UV] Pass by value [was:Need/Want/Would like to know]
Maybe passing a matrix in parentheses DOES pass by value - it passes the value of the matrix reference! Which still contains pointers to the matrix elements ... :-) With respect to the docu, I suspect it's meaningless when talking about matrices because it's not talking about what you think it is. For the same reason that C actively discourages passing structs by value (it's a HORRENDOUS performance hit on anything beyond the trivial), I suspect UV doesn't pass matrix CONTENTS by value for the same reason.

The UV documentation for the CALL statement says: All scalar and matrix variables are passed to subroutines by reference. If you want to pass variables by value, enclose them in parentheses. Enclosing a matrix in parentheses apparently does not actually work. (UV10.0.7 aix) Vlisting the difference between a scalar and a vector (1D matrix) variable surrounded by parentheses shows in the first example, using a scalar variable, passes by value using a new internal variable _T. In the second example, surrounding a vector in parentheses does nothing and the vector is passed by reference, the same as if there were no parentheses. --- 1 5: CALL P2((A), MAT X) 5 00022 : 0F8 move A = _T 5 00028 : 01E call P2 _T X --- 2 5: CALL P2((X(100)), MAT X) 5 00018 : 01E call P2 X(100(1(X Seems like a bug in the documentation.

Re: [ADMIN] The aforementioned and promised NAG about OVERQUOTING
Well, Ray has spoken, so I guess that makes it gospel. Top posting is wrong-posting, and only newbies who don't know any better do it. Speak for yourself, Ray - I, and many others, would rather not have to scroll down in each post to see the new material. I want to see it at the top, and scroll down if I need to refresh my memory as to the context. I am not a newby - I've been in the computer business for 26 years, and on the internet about as long as there was one (BBSs before that - top posting was quite common then, too).

RE: UV write fatal error
Hmmm. It's a very curious situation. Your data doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary (though it's neat about your munging). Have you tried using the blook utility to scan through the btree file to see if anything is out of the ordinary? From the OS level, just issue blook without any parameters to get its syntax and options: Usage: blook [options] file +a address display nodes from addr to end -a address display node at addr -d display record keys and data -k display record keys -i keylist display item key only -n disable auto pagination -r traverse descending (default ascending) -s generate statistics -v verify file integrity: no details -V verify file integrity: detailed report Environment variable interaction: LINES to control display depth COLS to control display width You might want to direct the output to a file then peruse it with your fav editor. I wrote this utility when I was implementing the secondary index files. Maybe you might be able to figure out what the heck is causing your troubles, pay close attention to see if maybe your inserted data might fall at the boundary of a node and a split is aborting. Let me know if you need any help in making heads or tails of anything.

RE: [UV] Pass by value [was:Need/Want/Would like to know]
Maybe passing a matrix in parentheses DOES pass by value - it passes the value of the matrix reference! Which still contains pointers to the matrix elements ... :-) With respect to the docu, I suspect it's meaningless when talking about matrices because it's not talking about what you think it is. For the same reason that C actively discourages passing structs by value (it's a HORRENDOUS performance hit on anything beyond the trivial), I suspect UV doesn't pass matrix CONTENTS by value for the same reason. Thanks but I'm not convinced. I still think this is buggy behaviour or bad documentation. My reasons for not being convinced are: A scalar and a matrix variable may refer to the same types of things (value, pointer, dyn array etc). Scalar variables with datum over eight bytes are pointers - same as a matrix variable. So in this case there is virtually no difference between a scalar variable and matrix variable. The documentation suggests that the effect of pass-by-value-parentheses will be the same on either scalar or matrix variable. The documentation says : When data is passed by value, the contents of the variable in the main program do not change as a result of manipulations to the data in the subroutine. This rule breaks when passing a matrix variable by value. The compiler will specifically fail on a call xxx((mat array)) type syntax. This specifically excises passing whole dimensioned arrays by value (your HORRENDOUS struct scenario). The compiler does not fail on a call xxx((array(9))) type syntax suggesting to the developer that certain behaviour will be exhibited. This expected behaviour is not manifested. The compiler treats scalar or matrix variables differently. So, to summarise, I feel my thesis is sound and the U2 developers should either amend the documentation of fix the compiler so that passing a matrix variable by value works. Regards, Stuart Note: in researching this I discovered there are 2 types of dimensioned arrays Prime and Pick style. I tested this for both styles of array with negative results. ** This email message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of addressed recipient(s).
