<div dir="ltr">Hi developers,<div><br><div> I'm running ADMB 11.1 on MacOSX and Windows 7. I'm trying to set the initial values for a param_init_number_vector (p, say) from a dvector (vls, say) in a function using the following:</div>
<div><br></div><div>p.set_initial_value(vls);<br><div><br></div><div>The actual function is:</div><div><br></div><div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">void setInitVals(BoundedNumberVectorInfo* pI, param_init_bounded_number_vector& p){</font></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"> int np = pI->getSize();</span><br></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"> if (np){</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"> dvector vls = pI->getInitVals();</font></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace"> p.set_initial_value(vls);</font></div><div><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"> cout<<"vls = "<<vls<<endl;</span><br>
</div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"> cout<<"p = "<<p<<endl;</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"> </font><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"> }</span></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">}</font></div></div><div><br></div><div>where pI is a pointer to an object whose method getInitVals() returns a dvector.</div><div><br></div><div>Everything compiles fine, but when I run the code, the initial values for p are not equal to vls (they're equal to the default initial values) after running setInits. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Fortunately this caused my code to produce some really strange results so I realized there was a problem. Using the ADMB website, I tracked down the following:</div><div> </div><div>The 'set_initial_value' method for param_init_bounded_number_vector is defined in model45.cpp as</div>
