hi, I'm trying to use "eplex_var_get" in C++ and get trouble with the
EC_word's type.
In eclipse , everything works fine.
----------------------
Vars = [A1,A2]
eplex_var_get( A1, solution, A1 ), eplex_var_get( A2, solution, A2 ).
-------------------------
But after I put this in C++, I can't figure out what is the exact type of
this EC_word.
It should be a double. But .is_double(&d) doesn't work.
-------like this one--------------
EC_refs Vars(2); double d;
for( int i=0; i<2; i++ ) {
     post_goal( term( EC_functor( "eplex_var_get", 3), Vars[i],
EC_atom("solution"), Vars[i] ));
*     if( EC_word(Vars[i]).is_double(&d) == EC_succeed ) {*
            cout<< "Edge-"<< i<< "="<< d <<endl;
       }
}
------------------------------------------------------

thanks.
