[v6.66/JSFX/Mac] strcpy doesn't copy #dbg_desc (FIXED)

[jack461]

I am trying to save "#dbg_desc" before modifying it, but it seems not to work.
In the attached code, I copy "#dbg_desc" in an auxiliary string, but after the operation, the string is empty
(I have tried with strcat too).

desc:JJ-Test-JSFX-01

slider1:0<-10,10,1>A slider

@init

#dbg_desc_save = "";
strcpy(#dbg_desc_save,#dbg_desc); // doesn't seem to work ?

@slider
val = slider1;
val >= 5 ? strcpy(#dbg_desc,"A new hope !"); // this works
val <= -5 ? strcpy(#dbg_desc,#dbg_desc_save); // this works

Before moving the slider, one can observe in the debugger that #dbg_desc has its correct initial value, the name of the plug-in.

Is there something I am doing wrong ?

Regards.

ah yeah it is write-only at the moment. fixing. for now write to a separate string as a workaround?

Thanks, Justin.
No problem, since the real interest of this feature is to convey a message to the user.
All the best.
