[Swift-user] app argument int passed as float

[Michael Wilde]

I tried this with an example closer to what you wrote in the initial message, Ketan.

It still seems to work OK under the trunk rev indicated:

bri$ cat km1.swift
type outfile;

app (outfile o ) myapp(string a, int b ){
 echo a b  stdout=@o;
}

outfile out<"km1.out">;

out = myapp("foo", 35 );

bri$ swift km1.swift

no sites file specified, setting to default: /home/wilde/swift/rev/trunk/etc/sites.xml
Swift svn swift-r5234 cog-r3296

RunID: 20111021-1436-z7s2z5rb
Progress:  time: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:37:01 -0500
Final status: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:37:01 -0500  Finished successfully:1
bri$ cat km1.out
foo 35
bri$
