[Swift-user] optional arguments of different types

[Max Hutchinson]

Hello,

I've defined a function with two optional arguments, one int and one string:
(int retcode) sweep (string prefix, file json, file tusr,
                     string pname, float[] pvals, int nwrite, boolean
legacy,
                     int nstep,
                     int io_step, int step_block,
                     float io_time, float time_block,
                     int nodes, int mode, int job_time,
                     string analysis="RTI",
                     int j0=0
                    ){
When I run, I get a warning that seems to indicate that the second optional
argument is being given the string type even though its declared int:
Could not start execution:
        k:main @ HillColl.kml, line: 1 does not have a parameter named
'swift.string.17023j0', k:named @ HillColl.kml, line: 850:
        k:main @ HillColl.kml, line: 1 does not have a parameter named
'swift.string.17023j0'
If I change the order the optional arguments are declared in, then it
thinks the string argument is an int:
Could not start execution:
        k:main @ HillColl.kml, line: 1 does not have a parameter named
'swift.int.0analysis', k:named @ HillColl.kml, line: 850:
        k:main @ HillColl.kml, line: 1 does not have a parameter named
'swift.int.0analysis'

Is there heavy use of optional arguments in the community?

Thanks,
Max
