Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: passing lists to external body parts (Was: Re: indentation and insert_lines) Author: sauer Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,27201,27269#msg-27269
I'm pretty sure this is because the list isn't actually passed - a name of the list is what's passed (hence the need to fully qualify lists passed as arguments). In order to implement what you (and I, just for the record) want, the language parser would have to define an internal name for the list and pass along that internal name. It's not impossible to do that - but it makes the syntax parser a bit more complicated, and the difficulty in generating a guaranteed unique internal name is not to be overlooked. I'd like the same paradigm extended to inline compound bodies, personally. You know, as long as we're wishing for anonymous structures. :) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
