11:58 PM Ticket #2502 (COW optimization incorrect) updated by jchd18: The error in the above reasonning is that AutoIt != C++. While the documentation (correctly) says that ByRef can be applied to the result of an expression, it should clearly state that ByRef is ineffective in that case. Probably this ticket should be directed to "Documentation" with the complain that ByRef only applies to named variables.

11:53 PM Ticket #2502 (COW optimization incorrect) created by Tasiro: […] Too bad there are references. See http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/044.htm.
7:49 AM Ticket #2496 (Runing Au3Info BETA) updated by mlipok: ok
7:27 AM Ticket #2478 (Assign and Eval do not restrict variable names) updated by czardas: Ah, you're going to change it. Although I didn't know about this previously, I think it would be pretty cool if it remained as an undocumented feature. If there are potential issues with behaviour then it should be changed, otherwise I don't see any reason or benefit to change anything. The fact this is even possible seems to open up new possibilities. I made such a function as BrewManNH spoke of, but all variable names use word characters after conversion to hex - allowing case sensitive variable names.

9:50 PM Ticket #2496 (Runing Au3Info BETA) closed by Jos: Rejected: Just copy it manually when you want to be able to always use it as this is not a utility that goes through a lot of changes. Jos
12:22 AM Ticket #2501 (SciTE lexer - syntax coloring - bug) updated by mlipok: I confirm it works well. Thanks.

8:19 PM Ticket #2491 (AutoIt doesn't functions properly) closed by Jos: No Bug: Asked questions in our forum and only report bugs here when confirmed and has a script attached that reproduces the bug. Closing for now as nobug Cheers Jos
8:17 PM Ticket #2498 (High Memory Consumption) closed by Jos: No Bug: Please discuss in our forums and only report confirmed bug here. Cheers, Jos
8:14 PM Ticket #2501 (SciTE lexer - syntax coloring - bug) closed by Jos: Fixed: Uploaded a fixed SciLexer.dll and SciTE.exe to the beta directory.
11:10 AM Ticket #2498 (High Memory Consumption) updated by jchd18: Trac is for reporting confirmed bugs, not asking for implementation details you "think" are strange. FYI, AutoIt uses COW.

3:28 AM Ticket #2498 (High Memory Consumption) updated by BrewManNH: Who says it's copying a pointer? It's copying the contents of the array $arr into element 0 of $arr so in effect you've just doubled the memory needed to hold $arr. Doing it again into element 1 means you now need to triple the memory needed to hold $arr and so on and so on.

3:23 AM Ticket #2498 (High Memory Consumption) updated by BrewManNH: I don't see much difference in memory usage between 3.3.9.21 and 3.3.8.1, there's a slight difference on my computer, but not a whole lot. If you're asking why it uses so much memory in the second test, it's because you keep putting the array into itself, every time you do that you're going to use a LOT of memory. I'm not sure what exactly the issue you're complaining about is, maybe you should write it out more clearly explaining EXACTLY what you think is wrong.

7:13 PM Ticket #2441 (_ExcelReadCell) updated by psandu.ro: yes, you are right but my problem is when in excel is an "error", my script is stopped with this error: AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:-1073741819 thanks
5:42 PM Ticket #2488 (@exitMethod - proposal - new mode - Accident) updated by Matt Diesel: Well your second example wouldn't cause AutoIt to exit anyway. Why not just have a flag called $ExittedCleanly, then a custom exit() function, which you call instead of exit. The _OnExit() function can then check your flag to see whether it was set for a planned exit. AutoIt has always been used in a way such that programming errors stop the interpreter, and if a piece of code is critical, then it should be checked for errors such as array bounds correctly. Trying to catch errors like this is the wrong way to go about it.
5:03 PM Ticket #2487 (SciTE: Menu: Edit/Stream Comment - Feature request) closed by Jos: Rejected
4:55 PM Ticket #2482 (TIDY: #Tidy_Parameters=/sf issue) closed by Jos: No Bug: This is not a bug. /SF works in the following way: - All Func 's are sorted in the correct sequence and placed at the end of the Script file. - All commentlines above the Func are considered to be part of the FUNC below it and sorted together with the FUNC. So that means that the last comment line is actually the first regular codeline and hence will be at the top after sorting. Jos

12:13 AM Ticket #2488 (@exitMethod - proposal - new mode - Accident) updated by BrewManNH: What do you mean by "by accident"? How do you (or the script) determine the exit wasn't intentional?

6:39 PM Ticket #2478 (Assign and Eval do not restrict variable names) updated by BrewManNH: One benefit that I've seen, in Assign and IsDeclared taking any string as a valid variable, is some of the code people have used to replace the _ArrayUnique function with something a lot faster. While it's not standard practice to use Assign like that, it has been something people have been posting for several years and in multiple posts. Just something to think about.

5:14 PM Ticket #2478 (Assign and Eval do not restrict variable names) updated by Tasiro: > I fail to see how changing the behavior of Assign does any good as you are going to have to check for error and deal with that with more code to correct it. Then I will have to? Only IsDeclared needs to be changed. > And it is a script breaking change for no good reason that I see at this time. You cannot expect undefined (or unspecified) behavior to be portable (you seem to be in need of a specification). Which script would it break? > Here is a tip, variables created with Assign, i.e. "var!" will not destroy a variable named $var. You cannot create a variable named $var! so it is safe to assign "var!". I may write Assign ("var!", $value), as you do. Why do you need a variable named "var!"? > So I do not see an issue, like AutoIt crashing, negative side effects or other. Performance. Consistence. Misuse.
4:16 PM Ticket #2478 (Assign and Eval do not restrict variable names) updated by Tasiro: 1. Bad Idea. "You can't access my variables? Have you tried Eval ("variable name") already?" Also, Execute may fail. What will be @extended? 2. Execute is the (second) slowest way possible. 3. Use ObjCreate ("Scripting.Dictionary") for maps. 4. Again, it is a bad idea to use Assign, Eval and Execute. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eval. 5. I cannot deprecate functions of the standard library of AutoIt myself, can I? Should I not report bugs I find? 6. Where is Eval actually neccessary? ---- I do not think a new flag would be a good idea. Documentation - Language Reference - Variables: > Each variable has a name (again, similar to a mailbox) and must start with the $ character and may only contain letters, numbers and the underscore _ character. Anyway, here is my flag proposal: 16 = (not default) Do not fail if varname not being a variable-name (link to specification)

11:48 AM Ticket #2470 ($GUI_EVENT_(PRIMARY and SECONDARY)DOWN not triggered after WinActivate) closed by J-Paul Mesnage: No Bug: Nothing wrong as your WinActivate is activating the desktop deactivating your GUI so clicking again just reactivate without really doing a click on the gui and the next click on the gui will redo a click event You better go to the forum to ask help before submitting a ticket

8:27 AM Ticket #2478 (Assign and Eval do not restrict variable names) updated by MHz: Perhaps a request for additional flags? 0 = (default) Create variable if required 1 = Force creation in local scope 2 = Force creation in global scope 4 = Fail if variable does not already exist 8 = Fail if variable does already exist (new) 16 = Fail if not being a string with letters, numbers and underscores (new)
7:45 AM Ticket #2478 (Assign and Eval do not restrict variable names) updated by MHz: 1. It is a string. You can test it before using assign so I see this as not an issue. 2. As above. 3. So you say but that does not mean that it should not be. 4. This is why Eval exists. Since when has $"Question..." been allowed? or even $$name? or how about $"var". Perhaps you are thinking of setting the option on for ExpandVarStrings which works fine on "name = $some space, and a comma$" if you wanted to. 5. Additional point, why submit bugs reports on functions that you do not want to use? In relation to your mention of gold, gold out of the ground is not good unless it is processed into pure gold. So processing is usually needed. You can test the string before assigning it for characters you do not want. If you assign a string to become a variable, then you can test it with IsDeclared to test if it exists and if it does, then to what scope it is and you can use Eval to use it. The latter is mentioned in the help file as what you should do on the pages of Assign, IsDeclared and Eval. Below is code testing the string for being valid for your interest. Added additional _IsDeclared UDF to show Assign, IsDeclared and Eval working together. You can comment the IsAlphaNumUnderScore function to see that it was not allowing the string. You could block assigning the string, convert the string to suit, exit the script or what ever you choose to do. I fail to see how changing the behavior of Assign does any good as you are going to have to check for error and deal with that with more code to correct it. And it is a script breaking change for no good reason that I see at this time. Tested on 3.3.8.1 and 3.3.9.21. 1 function call tests if the string is just letters, numbers and underscores. […] Here is a tip, variables created with Assign, i.e. "var!" will not destroy a variable named $var. You cannot create a variable named $var! so it is safe to assign "var!". So I do not see an issue, like AutoIt crashing, negative side effects or other. So as per usual with AutoIt, some programming is needed to get the result that you want.
6:47 AM Ticket #2476 (GUICtrlCreateEdit[2].au3 - ERROR) closed by J-Paul Mesnage: No Bug: in fact those errors are normal because you don't have access to the needed .OCX AS the example is incompatible with Win7 it will be removed and doc about GUICtrlCreateEdit() will be updated to point to _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create()

9:05 PM Ticket #2296 (SHA2 for Crypt.au3) updated by guinness: Added as comments for now.
8:52 PM Ticket #2481 (FileSelectFolder - Windows 7 and later new window type) updated by Matt Diesel: Very good question. I think this may be better off in the forum rather than on trac though. There is a C# solution here: http://www.lyquidity.com/blog/?p=136 In terms of doing it from AutoIt: MS changed superseded all the old api call dialogs with objects, so now the file open/save dialogs both inherit from IFileDialog. My guess is that the new folder select dialog is the same. I'll have a look later tonight hopefully and get you an AutoIt example.

I could consider it as a desirable feature. > For instance. > {{{ > Local $name = "Question, what is 3 + 3?" > Assign($name, 6) > MsgBox(0, '$name', $name & ' ' & @CRLF & Eval($name) & @CRLF) > }}} > You intend to access the string representation of the variable with Eval so I see only benefit. What the name in the variable could be regarded as little concern. You have string functions to check if what is in $name is valid or not by your own criteria. Same as you test for what is put in an edit control of a gui. I am afraid I must disagree. There are several disadvantages: 1. It makes it harder to debug. 2. It may polute the environment (and makes any good optimization virtually impossible). 3. The environment is not a map and should not be used as a map. 4. You cannot access the variable the normal way (no $"Question..." or $$name allowed). All that glitters is not gold. I would even deprecate Assign, Eval, IsDeclared, Call and Execute (Call and Execute might have side effects). That kind of reflection should be unneccessary.

12:19 AM Ticket #2475 (Select...Case...EndSelect - parameter - "Case <expression>") updated by mlipok: So let's wait and see what others say.

Sep 17, 2013:

11:24 PM Ticket #2475 (Select...Case...EndSelect - parameter - "Case <expression>") updated by BrewManNH: Yes, because of the way Select/Case works you have to put the expression after the word Case. The example is demonstrating that fact. At least that's how I read it. Switch needs the expression after the Switch keyword, perhaps the help file should have the keyword in the parameters. Of course this is only my opinion based upon how they work and how I'm reading the help file.
9:36 PM Ticket #2477 (FileInstall() to use the same Flag values as FileCopy to create ...) updated by Emiel Wieldraaijer: This would be a handy feature
9:22 PM Ticket #2475 (Select...Case...EndSelect - parameter - "Case <expression>") updated by mlipok: Replying to BrewManNH: > Select and Switch have different syntax. The expression is tested only once in the Switch command. The expression is tested on every Case statement in a Select command. Yes I know and that all is clear However, that's not what I mean. I think it's best to explain it, direct example. Here are two examples, containing fragments of documentation files. […] […] The first contains the current form. The second is modified only for the TICKET. I asked before: " Whether it is good That this place uses the keyword "case" " I am thinking whether it is good that the keyword "case" is placed in the name of the parameter.

8:32 PM Ticket #2475 (Select...Case...EndSelect - parameter - "Case <expression>") updated by BrewManNH: Select and Switch have different syntax. The expression is tested only once in the Switch command. The expression is tested on every Case statement in a Select command.

10:22 PM Ticket #2466 (Proposed amendments to the 74 files) updated by mlipok: Replying to jpm: > first checking lead me > > 1. Do we want to remove the ###Related### section? > that's the induction of adding those <a href= at least fora lot of them When you read a book, at the bottom you have the information for the index of the page. You can quickly jump into an appropriate description, and quickly return to continue reading. When you finish reading the whole book, at the end you have a summary, including a list of indexes. The same is true, in fact it should be, with electronic documentation. You read the documentation for a function, I read a description of the parameters you see any reference to other features, read in this way, you allow your mind to associate that particular parameter to another function. In this way, the reading is context sensitive. Related section, for me is a kind of census indexes, summary, where else can you look a reminder of what is related to a particular part of the documentation. But beware, I believe that this section is very important. Let me put it another way. When you learn something, but based on paper records, or simply on the basis of clear text, you use a pen or marker to mark keywords? It is natural for you? For me, yes. In the documentation, the sign, there are links that stand apart from other features of the text.
9:55 PM Ticket #2466 (Proposed amendments to the 74 files) updated by mlipok: Replying to Jpm: > 2. link to the function itself is not an improvement look for WinGetText documentation. in Remarks there is a 3 times a link to the described function. What you feel reading this documentation, and seeing this all links ? It confuse you ? Or you are glad ? I am glad because thus acquires a more readable text.

2:33 PM Ticket #2467 (SW_SHOWDEFAULT always return 10) updated by anonymous: I compile the first script to be called by the second script. Doc says : @SW_SHOWDEFAULT: Sets the show state based on the SW_ value specified by the program that started the application. So, if i Run the first script with "show_flag=@SW_HIDE", then the first script will display the value of "@SW_HIDE" wich is equals to 0 not 10. I try it with different values in the "Run" command, and the first script always display 10.
2:16 PM Ticket #2467 (SW_SHOWDEFAULT always return 10) closed by J-Paul Mesnage: No Bug: Not sure why you compile the script but anyway you want to display a tooltip text of the value of @SW_SHOWDEFAULT.

2:51 AM Ticket #2452 (Proposed amendments to the 50 text files) updated by mlipok: your wording do not confuse me The only thing that irritates me is the fact that 20 years ago, I could not learn the English language and as a result I have sort out the problems of international communication. Public School learned another language (Russian), and at the time for private lessons for me, I could not afford my parents.
