[asterisk-dev] app_directed_pickup and macros

[Philippe Sultan]

I have the same problem here.  The relevant part of
app_directed_pickup.c (function pickup_by_exten()) is :
		if (!strcasecmp(target->exten, exten) &&
		    !strcasecmp(target->dialcontext, context) &&
		    can_pickup(target)) {
			res = pickup_do(chan, target);
			ast_channel_unlock(target);
			break;
		}

In case of a macro call, 'target->exten' won't match 'exten' (as
mentioned by Klaus), neither 'target->dialcontext' will match
'context'. And 'target->macroexten' or 'target->macrocontext' are not
set.

A bug report addresses a similar issue, although it does not
explicitly refers to macros : http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=8984
