if I may ask, what is the update to lambda funcs/closures?

I've actually encountered a situation where a lambda func would've been useful and save a good number of lines of code.

also on the topic of functions.

is it possible to return a fixed sized array from a function instead of an arbitrary one?

for example, the following function works but it won't let me return it as "float[3]"

PHP Code:

stock float[] nAddVectors(const float vec1[3], const float vec2[3])
{
    float result[3];
    result[0] = vec1[0] + vec2[0];
    result[1] = vec1[1] + vec2[1];
    result[2] = vec1[2] + vec2[2];
    return result;
}

Asherkin said on some thread (which conveniently I cannot find the link to) that returning arrays will never be fully supported.

so it will be half supported? quarter-supported?

that makes no sense considering the point is to make sourcepawn more like C# and Java, both of which can return (arbitrary sized) arrays.

why does doing...

PHP Code:

"myString"[0]; 


...throw an error? Can I not instantly access a lazy string?

Why don't you do 'm' for once? Does C++ accept it?

Yes, that is what the compiler tells you, when it throws an error.
Or your question is, how to access a lazy string?
Anyways this sounds wrong to me and looks like something related to macro things.

I know we'd need true strings and figure alot of stuff out, but how far ahead until we start seeing stuff like this?

Hello,

can someone help me how to write the following statement with new syntax? It is one of the cURL_self_test statements.

PHP Code:

stock bool ExecCURL(Handle curl, int current_test)
{
        [B]curl_easy_perform_thread(curl, onComplete, current_test);[/B]
}

public void onComplete(Handle hndl, CURLcode code, any data)
{
    if(hndl != INVALID_HANDLE && code != CURLE_OK)
    {
        char error_buffer[256];
        curl_easy_strerror(code, error_buffer, sizeof(error_buffer));
        CloseHandle(hndl);
        return;
    }
    
    TESTCASE_CLOSEHANDLE(hndl)
    TESTCASE_CLOSEHANDLE(gs_access_file)

} 


I always get the error

 error 100: Prototypes do not match -> curl_easy_perform_thread(curl, onComplete, current_test);

/**
 * Perform a file transfer, using thread
 * @ param Handle            hndl                The handle of the curl to be used. May be INVALID_HANDLE if not essential.

native curl_easy_perform_thread(Handle:hndl, CURL_OnComplete:perform_callback, any:value=0);

Your onComplete function needs an int return, not void.
