Re: UID: Generating pointers in AWK

Kaz Kylheku

I see increasing misunderstanding regarding "strong" values.


This is my mistake�I shouldn�t have placed two new concepts into one library.



Let�s forget about strong values for now and focus on pointers
.

I didn�t quite understand your comment, and it seems to be due to the concept of pointers being mixed with the concept of hid
.

Look� a pointer is a special string that can be used as an index in all the arrays we have.
This string carries an unlimited amount of data that makes up the object itself.



You can EASILY pass a pointer to a variable or return it from a function.

 Or combine many pointers into a single string.

 In any case, by passing the pointer string, you are passing an unlimited number of arrays or strings located in the fields of global arrays.
