Cannot return a null handle: Obj@ GetObj() { if(@obj != null) return @obj; return null; // Error! } I think NULL should be used instead of null, and 0 (zero) can be used also to make the sytax more C++ like.

Good point. I never thought about that. I will fix it ASAP.

I'm not following the C++ way 100 percent. C++ doesn't have object handles, and pointers can have any value, in which case a special keyword such as null doesn't make that much sense. NULL is traditionally defined with capital letters because that is a common way of defining constants.

C++ has many inconsistencies and quirks that I'd rather not add to AS just to be more like C++. I've already stepped away from the C++ syntax with the object handles, and the way arrays are declared. I try to keep the AS syntax C/C++ like, but some things just don't make sense.

Bug fix:

Add the following statement to the asCCompiler::PrepareTemporaryObject() method at line 1691 (after the dt.isReference = false; statement):

dt.isReadOnly = false;
