#458 closed Bug (No Bug)

($var == '')=true for, Array, DllStruct.(?)

Reported by: mvgulik Owned by:
Milestone: Component: AutoIt
Version: 3.2.12.0 Severity: None
Keywords: compare array dllStruct Cc:

Description

($var == ) = true for, Array, DllStruct.(?)

not sure if this is correct autoit behavior or not.(bug?)
but the following ($var == "") test returns true for a array type var.
kind a expected it to return a false as the var type/content is not a string, nor empty.
(same is true for a DllStruct var)

;~ dim $var = DllStructCreate("byte")
dim $var[2] = [1,2]
dim $Out = "if $var == '' then" & @CRLF
if $var == '' then
	$Out &= 'True'
else
	$Out &= 'False'
EndIf
ConsoleWrite($Out & @CRLF)
MsgBox(0,'MsgBox',$Out)

tested on v3.2.12.1(missing in version list) and v3.2.13.4
also tested on v3.0.100.0 witch returned false(array).

ignore the v3.2.12.1(missing in version list) part.

return behavior switches from false to true between v3.0.102.0 and v3.1.0.15

  • Resolution set to No Bug
  • Status changed from new to closed

Given that you used the STRING COMPARE OPERATOR, what part about this is a bug?

Anyway, this isn't a bug no matter what operator you use. Internally, types are changed around during comparisons and types that don't have a string representation return an empty string.

Not a bug.
