2.24.0 Cannot instantiate a class outside of it's namespace

Hello, I've been testing the 2.24.0 release with namespaces and I think i found a bug.

Say we have the following script code:


namespace TestNamespace
{
class MyHappyClass
{
MyHappyClass ()
{
}

void DoSomething ()
{
//Actually should be called: DoNothing ()
}
}
}

void main ()
{
TestNamespace::MyHappyClass ClassInstance;

ClassInstance.DoSomething ();
}



We get the following error:

test.as (17, 1) : INFO : Compiling void main()
test.as (19, 17) : ERR : Identifier 'MyHappyClass' is not a data type
test.as (0, 0) : ERR : Script failed to build



Even if I remove the "TestNamespace::" from the ClassInstance declaration, the compiling error persists sad.png
format c: /q
I'll look into it.

Thanks for the clear report.

I've fixed this bug in revision 1355.

Thanks,
Andreas

Hey Andreas, I've tried with version 2.24.0a (Which by the way is not linked in the main page wink.png ), and I can tell you that, at least under a simple example, the bug is fixed.

BUT!
I'm affraid I found another similar bug sad.png

If you try to inherit from a class that's inside a namespace from OUTSIDE of that namespace, you get a compiler error.
Example code:


namespace Test
{
class FSM
{
}

}

class AdvancedFSM: Test::FSM
{
}

void main ()
{
AdvancedFSM Adv;
}


We get the following output:


main.fss (9, 24) : ERR : Expected '{'
main.fss (0, 0) : ERR : Script failed to build
format c: /q
Ah, the parser is not expecting the scope in the inheritance list. I'll have this corrected.
