#271: correct initialization of simulation variables --------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: michel | Owner: michel Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 5.0 Component: Preprocessor | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+-------------------- 1) the current implementation process on the fly the initialization information provided by initval, endval and shocks, creating along the way oo_.endo_simul, oo_.exo_simul and oo_.exo_det_simul (information provided by histval is now correctly stored in M_ before processing) 2) this implementation is prone to errors and forces users to respect a strict order of declaration. Simple checks of compliance with this order prevents users some legitimate usage such as macro loops 3) the solution is to record the initialization information in fields of M_ and to create/initialized oo_.endo_simul, oo_.exo_simul and oo_.exo_det_simul just before they are used. 4) set_shocks, make_y and make_ex should be rewritten and, for the last two, their name changed. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/271> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project
