Recent odd macro behaviour?

[Olivier Burri]

Hi all,

After an update, it seems some syntax is no longer valid in ImageJ's macro language.

For example:
function test (someArgument) {
        return someArgument+"Some Text";
}
macro "A Test" {
        hi = 30;
        ret = test("I like "+hi);
        print(ret);

Gives an error:
Number or numeric function expected in line 2.
return someargument + <"Some Text"> ;

If written like this it works:
function test (someArgument) {
        returnArg = someArgument+"Some Text";
        return returnArg;
}

And the log window displays "I like 30"

I know the first example I gave worked fine until very recently, as I hadn't touched that macro in months and have been using it at least weekly.

The second example involves arrays not taking in return arguments from functions:
        testArray = newArray(5);
        tmp = test ("Another"+45);
        testArray[0] = tmp;
       
        testArray[1] = test ("Another"+45);

here "test" is the functioning version of the test function above.

testArray[0] works fine, but testArray[1] gives the following error
Numeric return value expected in line...
testArray [ 1 ] = test ("Another" + 45 <)>;

This last error was pointed out to me by my colleague.
Any idea what might be causing this?

Best regards,

Oli
