By the way:
– improve the semantics by having a consistent treatment of empty substring
components (previously, only the last one was ignored)
– move it to DataTree to make it more accessible from elsewhere (even though
ideally it should be in a “utilities” namespace).
In particular, use a std::variant to store the values of options. This ensures
that a given option name can have only one value (previously, for a given
option name, it was possible to store several values as long as they were of
different types).
If block decomposition fails, error out if “block” option was passed, but not
otherwise.
This commit does not modify the generated files.
This is a preliminary step for dynare#1859.
The vectors were previously stored as strings internally, which would not
necessarily contain the commas which are required in JSON (but not in
MATLAB/Octave). The fix consists in internally storing those options as
std::vector.
Closes: #96
Incidentally, in the JSON output, no longer assign a value to the “periods”
field if not passed by the user (previously the value -1 was output in the JSON
file).
When an endogenous is declared with “var(log)”, say “y”:
– creates an auxiliary named “LOG_y”
– replaces “y(±l)” everywhere by “exp(LOG_y(±l))”
– adds a new auxiliary equation “y=exp(LOG_y)”
– adds a new definition “LOG_y=log(y)” in set_auxiliary_variables.m and
dynamic_set_auxiliary_series.m files
This option also works in conjunction with “deflator=…”, such as “var(log,
deflator=…)” (the “log” must appear befor “deflator”). There are no provisions
for combining “log” with “log_deflator”, because that would not make much sense
from an economic point of view (amounts to taking the log two times).
Ref. dynare#349
For symbol lists (such as those given to “var” or “stoch_simul”), return a
semantic value at the Bison level, rather than building the list through a
temporary object in ParsingDriver. This allows various simplifications, and
leads to a more functional code.
By the way, homogeneize the naming of the various flavours of symbol lists in
the Bison file (with TeX names, partitioning, or with a wildcard).
This option provides the same behaviour as before the change in
60ef6bbdbd.
It is typically useful when doing several estimations in the same .mod file.
Incidentally, the auxiliary endogenous variable representing Z₁ and created for
PAC MCE models no longer necessarily appear as the first auxiliary variable (so
this is effectively a revert of 64f55e4a5e).
