Is it actually legal to scan an array of compound variables and add
compound variable elements at the same time ?
Basically we're doing this...
-- snip --
nv_putsub(array_np, NULL, ARRAY_SCAN);
array_np_sub = array_np;
i = 0;
do
{
if (!(subname=nv_getsub(array_np_sub)))
break;
np = nv_open_fmt(shp->var_tree, NV_VARNAME|NV_NOFAIL,
"%s[%s].revents", varname, subname);
nv_putval(np, "a chicken was here", 0);
nv_close(np);
i++;
} while(array_np_sub && nv_nextsub(array_np_sub));
-- snip --
... it does work for indexed and indexed sparse arrays... but when
associative arrays are involved the "revents" variable gets created...
but with an empty string as value... ;-(
