Confusing error message
by Stephen R. van den Berg 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

This looks fine: > string a=({"12","34","56"}); Compiler Error: 1: Bad type in assignment. Compiler Error: 1: Expected: string. Compiler Error: 1: Got : array(string(0..255)). This is confusing: > (string)({"12","34","56"}); cast: Item 2 is not an integer: "56" HilfeInput:1: HilfeInput()->___HilfeWrapper() Any ideas on how this last one can be improved? -- Sincerely, Stephen R. van den Berg. E-mails should be like a lady's skirt: Long enough to cover the subject, and short enough to be interesting.

Stdio.exist

I just noticed that Stdio.exist returns 0 for dangling symlinks. I think that's unfortunate. What do you say, consider it a bug and fix it (with compat goo for #pike 7.6), or document it as intended behavior?
