For loops broken about hscript HOT 14 CLOSED

Try compiling with -dce no

from hscript.

how do I do that in an openfl project?

from hscript.

Not sure. You'll need to look up for the .nmml docs and see how to pass additional compiler options

from hscript.

Do you know where I could find that? sorry to sound clueless:/

from hscript.

Try using <haxeflag name="-dce" value="no" /> :

hmm ok that works (could you explain what it does?) for int iterators 0...1 and array iterators, but interestingly enough, FlxTypedGroup has a custom iterator, so while for (i in group.members) works, for (i in group) still gives me EInvalidIterator((active: true | visible: true | alive: true | exists: true))

from hscript.

It may be that its iterator() function has an optional argument ( http://api.haxeflixel.com/flixel/group/FlxTypedGroup.html ). The hscript interpreter is trying to call the function with no arguments, while it needs one argument - it being optional is a compile-time feature.

ok, I'll just note it in iceentitys documentation to directly use the members array, thanks:D

from hscript.

You should report to HaxeFlixel that adding optional arguments breaks Dynamic iterators.

I mentioned it to @Gama11 on twitter, maybe they can split it into iterator() and filteredIterator(), btw why does keeping dead code fix for-loops?

from hscript.

Hm... I take it this is a limitation of how hscript works (compile time vs runtime?) and there's nothing you can do about it on your side?

from hscript.

I'm thinking we should find a way to make hscript always keep IntIterator and its fields. It's a bit silly if this requires DCE disabling.

from hscript.

You should add --macro keep('IntIterator') to extraParams.hxml.

from hscript.

That's actually a very good idea!
