Hi folks,
It looks like operator assignment (op=), increment and decrement
statements aren't subjected to the same typechecks as their more
explicit equivalents.
For example, neither the post-increment nor += statements below warn
with strict_types enabled, even though they assign values outside of
foo's restricted int domain:
int(3..3) foo = 3;
foo++; // no warning
foo += 1; // no warning
foo = foo + 1; // warning from strict_types
Similarly, operator assignment on aggregates fails to elicit a warning:
array(int) a = ({});
multiset(int) b = (<>);
mapping(int:int) c = ([]);
// no warnings
a += ({ "hey" });
b += (< "hey" >);
c += ([ "hey": "there" ]);
// warnings from strict_types
a = a + ({ "hey" });
b = b + (< "hey" >);
c = c + ([ "hey": "there" ]);
I'm guessing this is because the checks provided by the
F_ASSIGN/F_ASSIGN_SELF case (las.c) only apply to direct assignment;
op= and friends are presumably not instrumented for strict_types in
the same manner.
Have there been any discussions around addressing this inconsistency?
Thanks,
Marc
