Comment #7 on issue 268 by emil.len...@gmail.com: Can call non-static _unknown from a static context http://code.google.com/p/gambas/issues/detail?id=268
Some more things: * What should happen if _property is static but _unknown is dynamic or vice versa? ;) This code: Static Public Function _property() As Boolean End Public Sub _unknown(...) End Public Sub TestFunction() Me.uuh = 3 End -> Segmentation fault (The gambas stack gets corrupted) And Static Public Function _property() As Boolean Print "This is not written to stdout" End Public Sub _unknown(...) Print "This is written to stdout" End Public Sub TestFunction() Me.uuh() End -> i.e. _property is silently ignored, but _unknown is executed. * _property must also be checked in about the same way when a property is written to: Static Public Function _property() As Boolean Print "This message will not be written to stdout." Return True End Static Public Sub _unknown(...) Print "Not this message either" End Public Sub TestFunction() Me.uuh = 3 End -> Shows nothing on the screen, i.e. none of _property or _unknown are executed, and no error message. * In revision #4894 you cannot call a static function when having an object, like obj.unknown_function(), err msg "static function". But the convension is that static functions can actually be called even if you have an object. obj.known_static_function() works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
