[Gambas-user] iif bug?

[Oliver Etchebarne Bejarano]

Hey folks,

I'm trying this:

------

dim id as integer
dim text as string

text = "1"
id = iif(IsNull(Val(text)), 0, Val(text))

------

Obviously, I want to obtain the numeric value of "text", or 0 if it is 
not a valid number. But that code fails with

ERROR: Type mismatch: wanted Integer, got Null instead.

It looks like Gambas is evaluating both true and false parts before
doing the iif check, and I think that shouldn't be the correct behavior.

btw I'm trying this on gambas 1.9.29

HTH
