#Null is not translated to null

[the.weavster]

Code: Select all

js = #Null

gets translated to

Code: Select all

var v_js = 0;

rather than

Code: Select all

var v_js = null;

I think this might have an implication for the inference engine, for example if you did something like this:

Code: Select all

 
js = #Null
!v_js = {"FirstName":"John","LastName":"Bull"};

it would get translated to this:

Code: Select all

 
var v_js = 0;
v_js = {"FirstName":"John","LastName":"Bull"};

I think the fact we've just changed the data type of the variable might cause Firefox to kick our compiled code back down to the interpreter.

While I understand you point, #Null in SB is 0, not null. If you need the null value in custom JS code, better write it in inlined JS !

Ah, I didn't realise this would work :

Code: Select all

!var v_sayhello = "Hello, World!";
Debug sayhello

I thought I had to initialise the variable in SpiderBasic and only then would it be available for passing back and forth with JS using the v_ prefix.

Would not work with EnableExplicit though.
