francoiste Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) i have just upgraded from autoit 3.3.12.0 to 3.3.14.2 and noticed a difference in behaviour.with the previous version of autoit below code was working fine.with the new version it returns "-1"repro code:#include <Array.au3> Local $aResult = _MyTest() MsgBox(0, "Array Result", _ArrayToString($aResult, "; ", 1, 0)) Func _MyTest() Local $aTmp[1] = [0] _ArrayAdd($aTmp, "A") _ArrayAdd($aTmp, "B") $aTmp[0] = UBound($aTmp, $UBOUND_ROWS) Return $aTmp EndFuncit seems that for the "$iEnd_Row" parameter we now need to pass "-1" instead of previous "0".the following snippet works fine:MsgBox(0, "Array Result", _ArrayToString($aResult, "; ", 1, -1))is that change on purpose?

BrewManNH Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yes it is on purpose, the old method wouldn't allow you to only use from 0 to 0, which would be pointless but it was a bug. There is a script breaking changes list in the help file for new versions. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

francoiste Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) interesting.however, when doing a search for "ArrayToString" in the "script breaking changes" section there are no hits ...?even for the more general search on "Array" there is not a single hit.

BrewManNH Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 But there is an entry for the Array UDF rewrite that points you to a list of changes that were made to that collection of functions.

francoiste Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) sorry, i still don't get it.the section that you are referring to (Array UDF rewrite) is listed for "3.3.12.0".but i have run into this issue only after upgrading from "3.3.12.0" to "3.3.14.2".maybe the recent change is just missing from the "documenation"?i can neither find any hint in the "script breaking changes" section nor in the general "history / changelog" listing.

francoiste Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 to improve my code example:this "$iEnd_Row" parameter is "optional" - and has an "internal default", anyways.so to avoid running into such problems (when the internal defaults change in a future release): simply use the "Default" keyword:; do NOT pass a default VALUE: _ArrayToString($aResult, "; ", 1, -1)) ; instead, use the "Default" KEYWORD: _ArrayToString($aResult, "; ", 1, Default)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Or don't use it at all if you're not altering it, or anything after it. It is optional after all.

francoiste Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 right.i was sparing you from the full context.in my code i have a two-dimensional array. that's why i can't omit that parameter._ArrayToString($aTmp, "; ", 1, Default, "; ", 2, 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
