Is there any chance to get any of the following on set task native in the future builds?

1. Being able to send strings with undetermined size using the set_task param
2. Being able to make a function loop, for example call the function now and after/every x seconds..

1. You can already do this. That's how it was designed . . .
2. Call the function and then set the task, or vice versa.

Neither of these require changing anything.

Well then what am i doing wrong in this case?

PHP Code:

public function_message_status(const szMessage[], iTask)
{
    set_task(1.0, "function_message_status", 1000, szMessage, sizeof(szMessage))
} 


indeterminate array size in "sizeof" expression (symbol "")

Call the function and then set the task, or vice versa.

There are some cases where it would be great to have a function loop param, in order to avoid to handle some stuff via more functions

You are using "sizeof" on an array/string declared with zero length which is not valid. You probably need to use strlen()+1 to get the run-time size of the data or pass the size of the array as a parameter of function_message_status().

What in the world are you talking about? Have you read the documentation? You can have the task repeat for specific number of times are indefinitely. I figured you already knew this since it's clearly in the documentation and that you were asking to have the function execute immediately AND also repeat.

You can create a wrapper for this.

About first request, i knew what was wrong there with sizeof, that it is called on compilation not on run time
The reason why i asked is that i didn't know there was such version of it which is called at run time ( strlen )
So i was thinking that the only way was if the native wouldn't require to specify the size of the array
Thanks, it solved the problem

About second request, i was talking about a param that if set to true in the set_task native, will also call the function immediately..

Making this

PHP Code:

function()
set_task(5.0, "function", TASK, data[], data size, "b", repeat times) 


PHP Code:

Into this
set_task(5.0, "function", TASK, data[], data size, "b", repeat times, call now) 


It would save some space in the script, generally you will have one less line to write, but in some situations it will save you from writing some additional functions to handle that

But yeah, i guess i could create a wrapper ( a stock ) to handle it, i guess what i asked is a little far fetched

strlen != sizeof
