#1290: parameter file parser fails to parse parameter name ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
In Lisp, +, -, *, / etc are all functions, so function names have to be able to contain such characters. In Cactus though, we tend to use language constructs which resemble C and Perl (e.g. CCL files), so we should echo what is done in those languages, which is to have a more restrictive set of allowed symbols.
