Hi
A function (test()) is called using efsInternal and passed a series that is different to the chart (say ES,200V for the passed series vs ES,1 for the chart). The Test() routine returns an array of three (series of) numbers, the first is the barcount (as a negative), the second an internal counter (also negative) and the third is the getBarState() value (0 = BARSTATE_NEWBAR, 1 BARSTATE_CURRENTBAR).
While historic bars are processed I don't get a problem, but when the current bar ticks arrive there seems to be missing data (except for the very first one).
The output generally shows a line printed in the Test() code, followed by a line in the Caller() (ie main()), this is what I expect (as we have got to the current bar).
For starters note that the Test() routine is often apparently frequently called twice between Caller() lines (see unchanged volume print suggesting simple duplication). For ticks in the current bar I would expect the efsInternal()ed Test() code to be called once per tick, like main() is? This would appear to indicate an erroneous call to Test()?
But more awkward is what happens when the 200V series gets a NEWBAR. See that it is detected in the Test() code (see "c = 0" value and the "...!!! NEWBAR DETECTED!!!.." print).
But in the Caller() code we simply don't get to process the NEWBAR for the 200V series - see there is no Caller line with c = 0. As my Test() routine is actually meant to do processing and return meaningful data only when a NEWBAR does occur this is a problem.
Here is the code, I can't see anything stupid, so I think it is a bug?
