Any way to make a LIST parameter optional?

[jassing]

something like:

Code: Select all

Procedure fish( List test()=NewList )
EndProcedure

fish(#Null)

?

Code: Select all

Procedure fish( List test() )
	ClearList(test())
EndProcedure

Procedure fish()
	Protected NewList test()
EndProcedure

Only if you use a helper structure:

Code: Select all

Structure MyList
	List Test.i()
EndStructure

Procedure fish( *MyList.MyList = #Null )
	If *MyList
		ProcedureReturn ListSize(*MyList\Test())
	Else
		ProcedureReturn 0
	EndIf
EndProcedure

Define MyList.MyList
AddElement(MyList\Test())

Debug fish(MyList)
Debug fish(#Null)

that's how I currently do it; but it's, er, inelegant.
