HASH assignment [message #90080]

One inconvenience of IDL hashes is that nested hash keys do not auto-instantiate. You must test for the presence of a key, and then create a sub-hash if not found. Other languages let you just say the equivalent of:

a=hash()
a['b','c','d']=1

and have all the nested hashes (here: a['b'] & a['b','c']) created automatically. While working around this (i.e. defining nested hashes myself and referencing them), I found a segfault but in IDL 8.4:

IDL> a=hash() & c=(a['b']=hash())
