I recently decided to dust off some old DLD functions I developed a few
years ago using Octave 2.1.34 (or so), and Redhat linux 7.2. Now I use
Octave 2.1.57 (self-compiled with Octave Forge) on Enterprise Redhat,
and I get two consistent errors that didn't used to occur.
1) Every time I try to return a null matrix after printing out an error
message (i.e.,
[376] error ("Too many inputs.\n");
[377] return retval = Matrix (0,0);
), I get this error when I use mkoctfile:
test.cc:377: no match for `octave_value_list& = Matrix' operator
/usr/local/include/octave-2.1.57/octave/oct-obj.h:78: candidates are:
octave_value_list& octave_value_list::operator=(const octave_value_list&)
2) I am having problems with strings. Sadly, I don't really remember
why I coded things the way I did three years ago. I think I took some
hints from JWE. Everything worked, but I didn't really understand what
I was doing at the time. For instance, the following code used to work
for copying a "const char*" value to a "char*" because the C library
function I was writing a wrapper for couldn't handle the former:
[488] char *fmt = new char [args(1).string_value ().length () +1];
[489] args(1).string_value ().copy (fmt, string::npos);
[490] fmt [args(1).string_value ().length ()] = '\0';
Now, I get the following error:
test.cc:489: `string' undeclared (first use this function)
test.cc:489: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
function it appears in.)
test.cc:489: syntax error before `::' token
This is, in fact, the first time I've played with any C++ code in over
three years, so for all I know, my questions may not even be specific to
Octave. I did browse quickly through Da Coda Al Fine, but found nothing
that promised any help. Any hints would be most appreciated. Thanks.
