Opcode get_class has failed assertion with garbage input

Description

This code is wrong:

	sub compile_default_multi($class_name, $multi_name) {
		NOTE("Class name: ", $class_name);
		NOTE("Multi name: ", $multi_name);
		my $class := Q:PIR {
			$P0 = find_lex '$class_name'
			%r = get_class $S0
		};		

(Where "NOTE" is a very expensive conditional 'say')

The PIR block references $S0 where is should reference $P0.

The result is an assertion failure. I believe that asking for the class of garbage is valid - it names a class that doesn't exist. The result should be a NULL PMC (or an exception, though the documentation of get_class does not mention any).

  • status changed from new to assigned
  • owner set to NotFound

Fixed in r42267 by changing the Parrot_oo_get_class_str signature to allow NULL and returning a PMCNULL.

Now we need to decide if this is the correct solution or we must throw instead, and add a test accordingly.

Changed 12 years ago by NotFound

If no one objects, after r45985 returning PMCNULL will be the expected semantic, both for Parrot_oo_get_class_str and for Parrot_oo_get_class. Tests added.
