[Swift-devel] Re: [Swift-user] Error using programs in swift

[wilde at mcs.anl.gov]

Mark, the problem looks to me like Swift is not handing the following programming error correctly.

In the line:

   subpeaks @file1 @file2 @max_dist stdout=@output;

you dont want to put the @ on the int max_dist.

Remember, @ is shorthand for the @filename(), and you can't apply that to an int.

I *think* Swift should generate a compile-time type violation, but thats perhaps not do-able at the moment for @func() primitives, which have some type flexibility.

So the short answer is: take off the @ on max_dist. When you list a scalar variable in an app() command-line prototype, the scalar's value is placed on the command line.
