Problem with new cvar parsing in svn

[divVerent]

It did not work like that in 2.3, and in my 2.4 svn it works just fine. You may be using 2.4 svn with a 2.3 engine.

I'm using the May 30, 2007 2.3 release for Mac. I don't have Linux, but WinstonSmith on IRC said he tested the 2.3 release on Linux and it worked, but on the 2.4 SVN it didn't.

I may have confused you

I tried 2.3 and 2008-01-02c build on Kubuntu.

Kubuntu, regular 2.3 (patched with Blub's name completion)

Code: Select all

set x qwer
set i x
echo ${$i}
Warning: could not find cvar {$i}
Warning: could not find cvar i}
${$i}

Kubuntu, 2008-01-02c build

Code: Select all

set w qwer
set e w
echo ${$e}
qwer

Windows 2000, regular 2.3 (no patches)

Code: Select all

set x qwer
set i x
echo ${$i}
Warning: could not find cvar {$i}
Warning: could not find cvar i}
${$i}

This indirection bug is present in 2.3, but has been fixed in the SVN version.


Comments being truncated by a semi-colon is present in all the builds I've tried.

// "blah ; echo "this shouldn't print""
bind u "wait ; wait" // ; wait ; wait" //make a short delay

bind o "echo hello" //displays your message; quit

The indirection "bug" is not a bug - it simply is a new feature in svn builds. There was no indirection in 2.3. And changing // looks complicated... I'd fear to break other stuff when fixing that parsing. Instead, just don't use semicolons in comments...

If 2.3 doesn't have indirection, that explains why it won't work for me since I am using 2.3. Sorry for the confusion.

What do you mean about "2.4 svn with a 2.3 engine"? I did try the 2.4 engine-only download. I copied it to my Nexuiz folder which had 2.3. It works on my one of my older Macs, but not on the new one. So I deleted the 2.4 engine files and copied the 2.3 engine back.
