I'll need help in reproducing the problem so I can investigate it.

The crash is happening because the variable 'func' is 0. engine->scriptFunctions[0] is always null, so the call to AddRef() is invalid here.

However, the real question is why func is 0. I need your help to figure out the scenario in which this happens.

Can you show me the script code for the function that is being compiled? You can determine which it is with the following variables:

this->objectType->name (class name, if objectType is not 0)
this->name (function or method name)


Or even better, perhaps you can create a small script that reproduces the problem so I can incorporate it in my test suite and debug it myself?

By the way, which version of AngelScript are you using?

Alright, I'll take a look at the script when I get home from work. I am using the latest version of angelscript (2.23.0 tag in SVN).

Sorry it took me so long. Work. Here is what I have.

The class type is END_MenuItem, and the function name is the same, so I am assuming it is the constructor. I don't know if script functions are being called at this point or not, but if that is the case then they shouldn't be because I took out all instances of the class to debug this problem.

The class is a hierarchy involving a subclass and an interface. See their code below.

funcdef void END_MENUITEM_FUNC(END_MenuItem@ item);

class END_MenuItem : Widget
{
private Vector3 m_DrawColor;
private END_MENUITEM_FUNC@ m_Func;

END_MenuItem(string@ font,int size,string@ txt,END_MENUITEM_FUNC@ f)
{
END_MenuMode mode = END_MenuMode::MAIN;

@m_Func = @f;

@m_Font = @font;
@m_Text = @txt;
mSize = size;
m_DrawColor = RGBA( 255,255,255,255 );

bStringMeasured = false;
}

void OnMousePressed(Mouse mouse)
{
// Left Mouse Button

}

EDIT: Just as I thought, excluding the file that defined END_MenuItem allows the program to run.

Thanks. I'll try to reproduce the problem in my tests.

Looking at the script I suspect it may be the END_MENUITEM_FUNC callback function in the parameter list that is triggering the bug.

My suspicion was incorrect. I've reduced the problem to the following script


class END_MenuItem : Widget
{
END_MenuItem()
{
}
};
class Widget
{
Widget( Widget@ parent = null )
{
}
};


The bug is caused when the base class doesn't have a default constructor, and the derived class doesn't explicitly call the base class' constructor with the appropriate arguments. As the compiler didn't see an explicit call to any of the base class' constructors it tries to call the default constructor which until version 2.22.1 was implemented automatically.

The correct behaviour in this case is for AngelScript to give an error message to tell the script writer to explicitly call the base constructor with super(...);.

I'll work on implementing this verification and appropriate error message, but until then you can work around the problem in 3 ways:

1. Explicitly call the base class' constructor with 'super(null);'
2. Implement a default constructor in the Widget class
3. Configure AngelScript to automatically provide the default constructor with engine->SetEngineProperty(asEP_ALWAYS_IMPL_DEFAULT_CONSTRUCT, true);

Andreas

Bug fixed in revision 1252.
