Re: Object - XML - object/Annotation

Another problem is that 'string s;' or 'string s=0;' evaluate to 'int' when using %t and 'zero_type()' doesn't help either.

Not a problem for pike but for any other language using the generated XML.

As a workaround, have you considered using typeof()/_typeof() ?

----8<----8<----8<----

string s; string t=0; string u=""; string v="foo"; zero_type(s);

(1) Result: 0

zero_type(t);

(2) Result: 0

zero_type(u);

(3) Result: 0

zero_type(v);

(4) Result: 0

typeof(s);

(5) Result: string

typeof(t);

(6) Result: string

typeof(u);

(7) Result: string

typeof(v);

(8) Result: string

_typeof(s);

(9) Result: zero

_typeof(t);

(10) Result: zero

_typeof(u);

(11) Result: string

_typeof(v);

(12) Result: string ---->8---->8---->8----
