Is this supposed to be valid vJass?

dismas	JASS: function duration takes nothing returns real return 3.0 endfunction function bar takes nothing returns nothing call BJDebugMsg(R2S(duration)) // as opposed to duration() endfunction Plain WE gives me a syntax error but JassHelper compiles it. Btw I got "1.0" when I ran it after compiling in NewGen.

Jasshelper catches vJASS errors and this one is a JASS error, so PJASS is doing it properly.

This must be the right way:

JASS:

function duration takes nothing returns real
    return 3.0
endfunction

function bar takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg(R2S(duration()))
endfunction

BTW, probably jasshelper is taking that function as a object, when you call it in this way, you are getting the index of the function but not the result.

Try this:

JASS:

function duration takes nothing returns real
    return 3.0
endfunction

function bar takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg(R2S(duration.execute()))
endfunction

Vexorian	It is not supposed to be valid vJass. But jasshelper is very dumb, and it doesn't do type safety. So it thinks Duration was an attempt to use a function pointer, it translates it to some integer number, and then PJass compiles it as correct.
