Re: [TRNSYS-users] Stored variables (C++)

Hi Carlos,

The setStorageVars problem, too, has been encountered before:

Basically, my recommendation is not to use it in C or C++ - it’s a bit like asking where you can get fresh hay for your car...

Objet : Re: [TRNSYS-users] Stored variables (C++)

Hey everyone,

I have TRNSYS 16 and I am programming a new module using C++. I've had absolutely all the problems that have been mentioned in the past with regards to stored variables (such as un-updated TRNSYS.h file) and I've solved most of them, but I have been unable to solve one related to pointers.

For some reason, in TRNSYS.h the functions setStorageVars and setStorageSize need pointer inputs (int*, double*) to work, as opposed to the simple int or double variables used in FORTRAN. I have spent a lot of time and I have not being able to work this through, and I need to fix this within the next few days or it will have consequences on the project deadline =(

Does anybody have the answer to one of these two questions?

1) Do you have any example (*.ccp) of a module programmed in C++ that uses stored variables? That would probably be easiest way to understand how to insert the correct inputs in the setStorageVars function, or

2) Do you know how to insert the 'nitems' and 'stored' array in a way that the setStorageVars function will understand?

The template generated for C++ does not address these issues and I am unsure how to fix them.

Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks!
