I'm trying to merge the contents of two dictionaries as follows:

dictionary d1 = {{'1','1'}};
dictionary d2 = {{'2','2'}};
array<string>@ keys = d2.getKeys();
for (uint i = 0; i < keys.length(); ++i)
{
    // Try 1:
    // No appropriate opAssign method found in 'dictionaryValue' for value assignment
    // Previous error occurred while attempting to create a temporary copy of object
    d1[keys[i]] = d2[keys[i]];

    // Try 2:
    // Assert "tempVariables.exists(offset)" at as_compiler.cpp:4895, asCCompiler::ReleaseTemporaryVariable()
    string key = keys[i];
    d1[key] = d2[key];
}

I would hope that approach 1 can work in the future, but approach 2 causes an assert with the following backtrace:

Am I doing anything wrong with the above syntax?

32-bit linux, rev 2030

Thank you!

No, you aren't doing anything wrong.

The first scenario is failing because the dictionaryValue type registered by the CScriptDictionary add-on doesn't have a method with signature 'dictionaryValue &opAssign(const dictionaryValue &in)', nor does it have a copy constructor for creating a temporary copy to safely call the existing 'dictionary &opAssign(const ?&in)' method.

The second scenario is failing due to some bug in the compiler that I still need to investigate.

I'll have both of the scenarios fixed as soon as I can.

Both problems have been fixed in revision 2040.

This change appears to have broken the ability to store a funcdef in a dictionary:

funcdef void CB();

void test()
{
    print("in test");
}

void main()
{
    test(); // works

    CB@ func = @test;
    func(); // works

    dictionary dict;
    @dict['func'] = func;

    if ( dict.exists('func') )
        print("exists"); // prints "exists"

    CB@ func2 = cast<CB>(dict['func']);
    if ( func2 is null )
        print("Why am I null?"); // this prints

    func2(); // "Unbound function called" exception
}

The problem was introduced when I changed the dictionary to use the new RefCastObject to convert the stored handle to the desired type. RefCastObject doesn't work for function pointers since they require the asIScriptFunction pointer too in order to have the full view of the function signature.

I've fixed this now in revision 2051.

Fix confirmed - thank you!!
