Description

remove_dict_keyremove_dict_keyRemoveDictKeyRemoveDictKeyremove_dict_key removes the keys specified in KeyKeyKeykeykey from the dictionary passed in DictHandleDictHandleDictHandledictHandledict_handle and releases all the (tuple or object) data associated with those keys.

If an error occurs while processing one or more keys (in particular if a key is invalid), the operator attempts to continue removing as many keys as possible before reporting an appropriate failure.

Execution Information

  • Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
  • Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
  • Processed without parallelization.

This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:

During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.

Parameters

DictHandleDictHandleDictHandledictHandledict_handle (input_control, state is modified)  dict HDict, HTupleHHandleHTupleHtuple (handle) (IntPtr) (HHandle) (handle)

Dictionary handle.

Number of elements: DictHandle == 1

KeyKeyKeykeykey (input_control)  string(-array) HTupleMaybeSequence[Union[str, int]]HTupleHtuple (string / integer) (string / int / long) (HString / Hlong) (char* / Hlong)

Key to remove.

Restriction: length(Key) > 0

Example (HDevelop)

* Remove all keys
get_dict_param (Dict, 'keys', [], Keys)
remove_dict_key (Dict, Keys)

Result

If all the operator parameters are valid, remove_dict_keyremove_dict_keyRemoveDictKeyRemoveDictKeyremove_dict_key returns 2 ( H_MSG_TRUE) . Otherwise an exception is raised.
