i am getting this error because i added so many arguments, i know it has a limit of 16 argument but i don't have 16 or more, yet i stil get the sam error. even when i used an array ( like some answers said to ) i still get the error.

here is the function that the error points to :

CODE :

  enum Gender { Male, Female }
  enum Status {New,Pending,Validated,ToRevalid}


function getPerson(bytes32 personAddress)
    public

    constant
    returns(bytes32,
    bytes32 email,
    bytes32 fname,
    bytes32 lname,
    uint index,
    bool deleted,
    Gender gender,
    string image,
    Status status,
    bytes32[13] details
    )
  {
    if(!isPerson(personAddress)) return;
    else{
      if(persons[personAddress].deleted == true) return;
      else{

      details[0]=persons[personAddress].RIM;
      details[1]=persons[personAddress].BirthCity;
      details[2]=persons[personAddress].BirthCountry;
      details[3]=persons[personAddress].FatherName;
      details[4]=persons[personAddress].MotherName;
      details[5]=persons[personAddress].Citizenship;
      details[6]=persons[personAddress].Residency;
      details[7]=persons[personAddress].Grade;
      details[8]=persons[personAddress].CorpCountryCode;
      details[9]= persons[personAddress].IntroducedBy;
      details[10]=persons[personAddress].HowIntroduced;
      details[11]=persons[personAddress].website;
      details[12]=persons[personAddress].DeceasedDate;
        return(
          personAddress,
          persons[personAddress].email,
          persons[personAddress].fname,
          persons[personAddress].lname,
          persons[personAddress].index,
          persons[personAddress].deleted,
          persons[personAddress].gender,
          persons[personAddress].image,
          persons[personAddress].status,
          details
        );
      }
    }

  }

    You could split this in multiple getter methods.

If you have a variable which is a struct, it doesn't count for a single variable but for as many variables as the number of member variables of the struct.

I see you have Gender and Status structs as some of your variables. Perhaps they have enough member fields to take the number of variables beyond 16.

    Gender and Status are actually enums, i don't know if your idea stands but thanks.

  • What happens if you initialize the array as details = [persons[personAddress].RIM, persons[personAddress].BirthCity, ...]? I wonder if it's assigning a local variable for every array element assignment.

  • I don't actually think that is possible but i know that details={[persons[personAddress].RIM,persons[personAddress].BirthCity,..} is possible but didn't try it yet.
