[Laszlo-dev] Someone broke lztest

[Henry Minsky]

Something seems to be broken now when a swf9 app starts up.
I get a runtime error

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
	at LFCApplication$cinit()
	at global$init()[/private/tmp/lzswf9/lzgen37472/LFCApplication.as:11]
	at global$init()[/Users/hqm/openlaszlo/lib/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.30/temp/lzswf9/lzgen41232/LzApplication.as:11]


That line is right at the start of the class definition for the base
application, LFCApplication, so I assume it
is an error happening in the static initializers. It looks like the
"lz" object is references before it is initialized:


    public class LFCApplication extends Sprite {

lz.Formatter = LzFormatter;

lz.DeclaredEventClass = LzDeclaredEventClass;
(function  () {
if (lz is Object) {

} else {
if (!lz) {
lz = new LzInheritedHash()
} else {

}}})();

lz.Eventable = LzEventable;
lz[LzNode.tagname] = LzNode;
lz.Node = LzNode;


So there is maybe something non-deterministic about when the compiler
emits that initializer function for the "lz" object?

And it does seem redundant; do we really need "lz.node" AND "lz.Node"?
