Carlos, You are right that C++ does not have the longest tradition in
TRNSYS programming, but the point is, no C++ programmer sane in his mind would want
to use these functions. In C or C++ you can just declare variables at global
scope and write the word ‘static’ in front – why would you
want to use a sort of user-defined stack for that, keep track of the stack
pointer etc. ? If you need to store a name in C++ I suppose you would use a
string object, and not try to create a Hollerith constant, right? J I wrote a complete library of TRNSYS types for process control,
data transmission & data base access in C – it was a lot of fun and
works fine (say the clients), including the real time part controlling all sort
of complicated equipment. So I would say TRNSYS does support C++, but
you have to program it in C++, not try mimic what they did in FORTRAN 30 years
ago. Werner De :

part de Carlos Flores | DECCW. Sydney, Australia Hey Werner, That is a shame. It's sad that TRNSYS does not have a
proper support for C++, specially when they claim they do. It made me
waste a couple of days of work. Thanks very much for your answer and for helping me not to
waste my time any longer. Kind regards, Carlos On Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 10:11 PM, keilholz, werner <werner.keilholz@cstb.fr> wrote: Hi Carlos, The setStorageVars problem,

De la part de Carlos Flores | DECCW. Sydney, Australia 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.
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! Carlos
