493073 - OP_getlex called with an AnyName generates an Assert

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, defect)

Description

[Steven Johnson]

Attachment: Patch

Code like this:

  package {
    public var x = 10
    print(public::*)
  }

is legal but generates an assert in Debug builds, as we call MultinameHashtable::getMulti with an "any" name, which it doesn't like.

The assert is harmless in this case, since an anyname will always find nothing, and act identical to BIND_NONE, but assertions failures are bad...

Rather than remove the assertion, simplest fix appears to be to short-circuit findglobalproperty in this case.
