[chuck-users] nameless empty arrays

[Kassen]

Dear list,

//this is fine
fun int[] foo()
  {
  return [1, 2, 5];
  }

//this isn't
fun int[] bar()
  {
  return [];
 }

ChucK and me disagree here. I'm of the opinion that "[]" is a perfectly fine
array of integers (albeit of length 0) and hence correct. ChucK is of the
opinion that there's a syntax error.I suppose the issue is in "[]" not
having a explicid type but I said what the type was going to be up-front. In
fact the only way of defining a array of length 0 seems to be this;

int empty_int_array[0];
//and while we're at it
float empty_float_array[0];
//etc

I find that less then elegant.

Yours,
Kas.
