array[*] | array[*] - Pike-devel

13 Nov 2004


      Hi,
I found out that I can do:
...
array a = ({ 1, 2, 3 });
array b = ({ 4, 5, 6 });
a[*] | b[*];
(1) Result: ({ /* 3 elements */
                5,
                7,
                7
            })
But not:
...
array c = ({ 3, 0, 2 });
c[*] || a[*];
Compiler Error: 1:[*] not supported here.
Compiler Error: 1:[*] not supported here.
...
Any hints on where to go patch to make the above work?
(expected result: ({ 3, 2, 2 }) )
When is this usefull?
For example when I have an array containing the arguments
for some function call (or object creation) and get another
array with some values to override.
