[chuck-users] fun dur GetT() rises to invalid type

15 Dec 2005

      Hi there,

I have a osc meta-instrument wich has a function to get the unit_time  
to advance. Something like:

public class oscInstrument
{
     // some members here
     // ....
     fun dur GetT(){ return T_};
}

It compiles fine, but when used in the following manner:

oscInstrument myInstrument;
while(true)
{
     //do_something
     //...
     noteDuration::myInstrument.GetT() => now
}

  it rises the following error:  invalid type 'oscInstrument' in  
postfix of dur expression...    (must be of type 'dur') .

However if I do the following:

dur T;

  while(true)
{
     //do_something
     myInstrument.GetT() => T;
     noteDuration::T=> now
}

everything works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eduard
