Hello,
there are different actions, one is assignment of an expression and the
other is a function call. Functions can evaluate they parameters as they
need/want by having the appropriate C code inside.
For assignments, that is the general interpreter which considers strings
as being the tokens in between quotes. Trying to interpret variables
inside the strings automatically won't work, because that will mean to
do it for cases when it should not happen (e.g., modparams or function
parameters that specify just name of variables). Of course, with some
extra coding to keep states of where that string is used might be
possible, but I think will make the interpreter too complex. I might be
wrong, so a patch is welcome to prove the otherwise :-)
Some functions can evaluate the parameter content, some don't. And in
some cases, even there is a variable inside a parameter for a function,
it is not evaluated, but it is set. That's again based on the purpose of
the function.
Instead of concatenation expression, you can use few other options:
- $_s(...) -- iirc, like:
$var(x) = $_s("sip:+$var(abc)-$var(def)-$si@$Ri:$Rp");
- pv_printf($var(x), ...)
Cheers,
Daniel
