New Jacks Regressions: Constant Folding of Casts

Tue Jul 20 07:30:00 GMT 2004

Hi,
 In the last 24 hours, the following:
 case ((int )Float.NaN == 0 ? 1 : 0): break;
now gives an error saying "Constant expression required".
This causes 4 new Jacks failures. (Note that casting NaN
to an int should give the value 0.)
I note that something like "0 == 0 ? 1 : 0" does not
give this error.
I am not able to quickly tell what could be causing
this failure.
Any insights?
Ranjit.
