Map does compile but doesn't run

12-07-2009, 08:48 AM

Hey. I have made a window system, however, it does compile, but when you test it, it goes back to wc3 main screen. I have tried a lot, I hope you have more luck with it.

CW.v.1.01.w3x

Thanks in advance.

fX_	only problem is in library TrackAble: "//! runtextmacro getVar("getHandle", "Handle", "texttag")" should be: "//! runtextmacro getVar("getHandle", "Handle", "trackable")"

Anachron	So it works when you change it? Can't test right now.

Rising_Dusk	It would be a return bug otherwise, so I would presume that is the problem.

Anachron	How comes it compiles? I mean textmacros will replace the call with the actual text, so why won't that text be syntax-checked?

DioD	you attempt to return trackable as texttag with handle array... because both trackable and texttag are handles this compile well.

Anachron	I thought we have returntypsafety? W/e, thanks a lot.

The same reason the following still compiles.

JASS:

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return i
endfunction

Blizzard still lets that compile, they just don't let the map run if it's there. Your illegal typecast of a texttag to a trackable is similar.

Don't give Blizzard too much credit.

Anachron	Well, I guess I automaticly thought that we have typesafety, but that's only in bigger programming languages, such as PHP and so on. Except for the H2I-Bug, is there any reasonable situation why it could be useful?

weaaddar	typecasting was pretty useful when you needed to get a destructable back from that event that returned widget, but now you can use gettriggerdestructable... The only reason to typecast is to use an old map without a super duper amount of effort to fix it.

Anachron	I see. But since the old map does have crappy scripts then, its a waste of time, isn't it?

DioD	remake\rewrite code will take more time then just fixing it.
