Re: [chuck-users] functions returning arrays

David, I think the problem may be that you are returning an array that is local to your function and it is getting deallocated when the function returns. If you used the same syntax to instead return an object's member variable which is an array, I think it would work as expected. Hope that helps. ---------- Colin 2012/2/23 David Ogborn

Hi Chuckists,

A question about arrays in Chuck: the manual briefly mentions "functions that have arrays as arguments or return type" but I can't seem to find an actual example of a function with an array as a return type. Does anyone know if this works, or there is a way to make it work?

If I call the function below, for instance, I get a "NullPointerException: (array access)" when I do anything with the result:

fun float[] t(float x,float nn[]) { float rr[]; for(0 => int n;n rr[n]; } return rr; }

Yours truly, David
