StrictStrict
-
Report an error if any unexpeted data items are found?
- Description:
- This is a boolean attribute which indicates whether a warning
rather than an error should be issed for insignificant conversion
problems. If it is set non-zero, then fatal errors are issued
instead of warnings, resulting in the
AST error status being set.
If Strict is zero (the default), then execution continues after minor
conversion problems, and a warning message is added to the ChannelChannel
structure. Such messages can be retrieved using the
astWarningsastWarnings
function.
- Type:
- Integer (boolean).
- Class Applicability:
-
Channel
-
All Channels have this attribute.
- Notes:
- This attribute was introduced in AST version 5.0. Prior to this
version of AST unexpected data items read by a basic Channel always
caused an error to be reported. So applications linked against
versions of AST prior to version 5.0 may not be able to read ObjectObject
descriptions created by later versions of AST, if the Object's class
description has changed.
