Hi gentlemen, If I have the following code, or similar: void main (string[] args) { uint ui = 2; int i = -3; if (i < ui) { stdout.printf("Comparison works\n"); } }
No output is produced. Given Vala is generally very good at warning about type mismatches, or correctly doing an implicit cast, I find this rather strange. Yes, I should not be comparing a negative value against an unsigned value, but logically the comparison should produce the expected output, I would have thought? Also, I note that I can assign a value of -2 to ui without any complaint. In general, as type inference can make the type of a variable unclear to the casual viewer, and the declaration of a variable may be in a different file, this permissiveness is a potential source of error, I think.
