Jass Checker false possitive

[TheLordOfChaos201]

Hello

I have a bug to report with our jass checker.

Jass checker seems to be unable to identify when an if statement is active and when it's completely off. Resulting in leak errors for every if statement you have.

This problem shouldn't be too hard to check. Simply write in a code that checks the values of the if statement(what it is looking for) and compare that value with every other if statement in that trig. If the if statement doesn't match any other statement value they you know that it activates separately from the other statements and thus can be excluded.

An example of this would be to create a for loop

for (int j=0;j<100;j++)
{
if(j==0){do action with location}
destroy location
}

If all your if statements activate at different times then you know that their locations need to only be destroyed once....

I hope this makes sense

I'm pretty sure, having seen you code, that the issue is not with the jass checker, haha. Each one of your "if" statements, create a new location, which is the issue.

No they don't, if statements are effectively off until they are true

Meaning all those if statements only come on once, which is why I only destroy the location once each time that trigger runs

You don't destroy "start location".

You don't destroy "start location".

you don't need to destroy start location

Look up things that leak, they make a point of showing that start location doesn't leak along with pick every player

The JASS checker has to assume that both cases of an if statement can be touched. It does not run the code, it can only look at it. Your request is impossible unless it actually runs the code which requires Wc3 to do so properly.

can't you change that

programming is like magic, everything is possible

Nope. Feel free to study the topic.

I program for a living, such as yourself though partly... You and I both know the Jasschecker can be fixed

One can not emulate dynamic scenarios. It is only possible to look at constant code.
Destroy the location in same section where it was created, so it can read proceduraly without possible logical interrupts.

Sure, you just need to write a fully working Jass VM.

off-top: is jass synt checker at the sticky links broken or it have some limitation on uploading size?

I could confirm it seemed to be broken. Tried a 18 KB map (for a small system) and error occurred. Also tried with my Night Empire map and yes, another error occurred.

Yeah it had crashed. I really need to make it auto restart ^^
