invalid generated C for HashMap of Func

[fperrad]

the following code generates invalid (incomplete) C code :

import structs/HashMap
HFunc: class extends HashMap<String, Func> {
    init: func { super() }
}

C generated :

void hashfunc__HFunc___defaults___impl(hashfunc__HFunc* this) {
     ((structs_HashMap__HashMap*) this)->K = (void*) lang_String__String_class();
     ((structs_HashMap__HashMap*) this)->V = (void*) ;  // HERE, incomplete
     structs_HashMap__HashMap___defaults___impl((structs_HashMap__HashMap*) this);
}

Yeah well, you see, the problem is that.. functions don't really have a class (technically, a Func is, often an instance of the cover 'Closure', defined in the sdk, and
sometimes it's just a Pointer to some C function's address)

Does it work when you just instantiate a HashMap<String, Func> ? (Instead of trying to extend it?)

[fperrad]

this code works fine :

map := HashMap<String, Func> new()
map put("name", func() {
    "hello" println()
})
fct := map get("name")
fct()

and generates somewhere

 hashfunc__map = structs_HashMap__HashMap_new((lang_types__Class*)lang_String__String_class(), (lang_types__Class*)lang_types__Pointer_class());

so, I think that the missing part is :

lang_types__Pointer_class()

So this must be a problem in type-resolving of parent class when extending, right?

@Shamanas I wouldn't say it's a problem of resolving. As said above, Func is a weird, weird type.

If I were you I'd begin to search for when the place these lines are written out:

 ((structs_HashMap__HashMap*) this)->K = (void*) lang_String__String_class();
 ((structs_HashMap__HashMap*) this)->V = (void*) ;  // HERE, incomplete

It's proably some codepath that doesn't account for Func's dual nature :)

Tried to fix that but it was too difficult xO Will check it out another time
