Limited array datatype supports

[ngocdg]

#include <Array.au3>
#include './N.au3'

Local $o = NGlobal()
Local $a = [1, 2]
$o.arr = $a

NMain(main)

Func main()

	;Change an element
	;~ $o.arr[0] = 3 ; <-- errorstdout: Statement cannot be just an expression.
	
	Local $t = $o.arr
	$t[0] = 3
	$o.arr = $t

	ConsoleWrite($o.arr[0] & @CRLF)
	


	;Display array
	;~ _ArrayDisplay($o.arr) ; <-- errorstdout: Expected a variable in user function call.

	_ArrayDisplay($t)

EndFunc

Temporary workarounds that I've tried:

• Display using _ArrayDisplay by assigning the array (from the global state) to a new local variable.
• Manipulate also by assigning the array to a new local variable, then reassigning it to the global state.

This library does not support array datatype.

ConsoleWrite($o.arr[0] & @\CRLF)

This line works because AutoIt supports array's get-index on an expression chain.

( ( $o ).invoke( 'arr' ) -> @value ).index( 0 ) -> @return

In AutoItObject, they handled array datatype in object invoking with SAFEARRAY.

$object.arr[0]          ; get
$object.arr[0] = any    ; set

IDispatch::Invoke(id, args, &ret)
  // known member "arr" as SAFEARRAY
  // uses SafeArrayAccessData

@nomi-san, do you have any intention to implement array support? or is that not possible?

[nomi-san]

@BiatuAutMiahn that's possible, I will add support in next month.
