I'm using the following code to read command line arguments for two integer values
------------------ // inside of a class static int opt_x_part = 0; static int opt_y_part = 0; ... public static const OptionEntry[] options = { { "xpart", 0, 0, OptionArg.INT, ref opt_x_part, "Number of partitions in the x direction", null }, { "ypart", 0, 0, OptionArg.INT, ref opt_y_part, "Number of partitions in the y direction", null }, { null } }; ... public int x_part { get; set; default=0; } public int y_part { get; set; default=0; } public int n_part { get; set; default=0; } ... // in the constructor if (opt_x_part != 0) { x_part = opt_x_part; } if (opt_y_part != 0) { y_part = opt_y_part; } n_part = x_part * y_part; ------------------ Later on in the code I want to use n_part but whenever I do I get the following error during compile: julia.vala:166.21-166.30: error: Relational operation not supported for types `int' and `null' for (i = 0; i < n_part; i++) { I assume that it thinks that there's a chance that n_part could be null because of the ref to opt_x_part/opt_y_part made in the options, but I'm a little confused as to why they are usable during construction but not afterwards. What is the way to deal with options correctly to avoid this error? Thanks, Geoff
