JASSHelper crashes on perfectly compilable code

[Wietlol]

Hi all.

When creating my String2JASS() function, I came to a very weird problem.
(Dont ask why but yes I want to code during gameplay with chat messages.)
When testing the system, I made a call on the initializer to show my lazyness.
However... when I put that up, I came to this error over and over again.

After a lot of commenting and removing... I found out that this is breaking down JASSHelper.
However, the code runs exacly how it should run in-game.

function f2 takes nothing returns nothing
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, "")
endfunction

function f1 takes string text returns nothing
endfunction

function InitTrig_I_AM_ERROR takes nothing returns nothing
    call f1("call f2()")
endfunction

WHY?!?!

Try to compile another code. If the problem persist, so the cause is not that code.

Have you tried my suggestion in the chat room? Try to clean up your temporary files. I had similar problem a while back. It's caused by strange lua object generation behavior, iirc.

hopefully this will work for you too.

well... turning on the debug mode fixed the issue... but still.
Why does JASSHelper have problems on perfectly compilable code with actually nothing difficult in it?

Which jasshelper are you using?

I tested the same script with vexorians JassHelper. The reason is that since it is one line function, JassHelper will try to inline it, and somehow fuck up and run into infinite loop trying to acquire resources, until it just gives up on you.

Adding a single "return" statement at the end of f2 will solve the problem

0.a.2.b

It happens on Cohadar's too. I guess it doesnt check if the function call is in a string.
call f1("f2(") seems to be the minimum for it to crash.

But there is one problem...
call f1("f2(") crashes, but

call f1()
call f2()

doesnt.

I think the difference between "call f2()" and "f2()" and "call f2()" and call f2() is more than obvious

Yeah, the "" converts it into string AFAIR.
