Hi all,
the following code does not work anymore in pike 8:
constant fail = ({ A });
class A { array foo = fail; }
As far as I can tell the reason was that previously unfinished programs were not considered to use their parent and so the reference of A in the array ended up being a program instead of the function. The commit which introduced this change in behavior was
86ce26dde736531829bbf1466c0d2504e8973466
My feeling is that the new behavior is actually correct, or is this a regression?
