Crash using the identity operator with enum values

Started by
2 comments, last by WitchLord 12 years ago
The following code (in which MyEnum has been registered as an enum and MyEnumValue has been registered as enum value of MyEnum):

void Update()
{
MyEnum enumValue = MyEnumValue;

bool condition = true;

if (condition)
{
if(enumValue is MyEnumValue)
{
int i = 0;
}
}
else
{
int j = 1;
}
}


Results in the following crash while compiling:

Potentially relevant watches at "void asCByteCode::AddPath(asCArray<cByteInstruction *> &paths, cByteInstruction *instr, int stackSize)":

Now, obviously, this code has been obtained by simplifying actual, useful code smile.png.

Strangely, removing the "if/else" will allow the code to compile.

Also, isn't this an illegal use of the identity operator? Someone here found this issue. I'm not the original "author" and I'm thinking whoever wrote this meant to use ==.

In fact, I'm not too sure what the operator should accomplish in this case (aside from logging an error at compile-time).

Note that I'm not 100% sure the issue isn't on my side but, judging by the call stack, I doubt it is.

I'm using v2.23.0.

Any idea?

Thanks for the report.

The identity operator is indeed not meant to be used with enums. It should only be available for reference types and handles.

I'll have this fixed.

Thank you, let me know if I can be of any help.
I've fixed this bug in revision 1259.

The result of the above script will now be that the compiler gives the error "Both operands must be handles when comparing identity".
