compiler bug

[mbj@REDACTED]

Hi,

Here's another module with the same behaviour - just to show that this
has nothing to do with records...

Run:

1> xx2:y().
{nok,{bar,1}}

If you remove the call to noop/1, you'll get ok.


I'd say that this is a rather serious bug.

-------------- next part --------------
-module(xx2).
-compile(export_all).

-record(bar, {status}).

y() ->
    x({foo, 1}).

get_bar() ->
    {bar, 1}.

x(Trans) ->
    {foo, Barno} = Trans,
    case get_bar() of
	Bar when element(2, Bar) == 1 ->
	    noop(Bar),
	    case Bar of
		{bar, _} ->
		    ok;
		_ ->
		    {nok, Bar}
	    end;
	_ ->
	    Trans
    end.

noop(_) ->
    ok.
