Hello,

$var(...) cannot be null by design, setting it to $null makes it 0.

$null is more for variables that don't exist, e.g., you don't have the $avp(x), then it is null if you compare it.

Cheers, Daniel

Hi,

if we return val.flags = PV_VAL_NULL, does the == $null comparison work ?

script example

my_function("some param","$var(result)"); if( $var(result) == $null { do something } in code => dst_pv->setf(msg, &dst_pv->pvp, (int)EQ_T, &dst_val); should the comparison work if we set dst_val.flags = PV_VAL_NULL ?

if( $(myPvar{my.mytransform,transformParameter}) == $null) { .... } should this work if the transform returns val.flags = PV_VAL_NULL ?

thank you

Hello,

$var(...) cannot be deleted. Its implementation relies on startup replacement of the name with a pointer in memory, at runtime being used only the pointer (for speed considerations). You should use $avp() if you want to deal with $null.

For the second, it depends on transformation, afaik, most transformations don't return null, but empty string (at least the string transformations). If you implement a new one and want to return $null, the value must have the flag PV_VAL_NULL set, like: val->flags |= PV_VAL_NULL

Cheers, Daniel

HI Daniel,

thanks, so in the first case instead of assigning the value to the $var(x) can i delete the $var(x) so that comparison works ?

in the second case (returned value from transform) what value should i compare against to check if returned value was null ?
