Hi,
I've came across an awkward error using dictionaries and dot syntax.
The bug is pretty straight forward to reproduce, but the idl crashes hard. In windows 7, the window simply disappears and I'm left with a bug report.
#############
Disclaimer: If you test this code, I will not be responsible for any data loss or damages of any kind (pc burning, earthquakes, losses at the stock exchange,...) resulting!
#############
Here we go:
a = dictionary()
a['item'] = 0l
a.item++ ;source of the crash
using array syntax is ok:
a['item']++ instead works.
In case anybody is willing to try this... is this IDL 8.4 related or was it also the case in 8.3?
Any chance this gets repaired soon?
Cheers,
Helder

Yoiks! That's still a critical bug in the recently-release8.4.
Thanks for reporting it.

Hi Fabien,
sorry I didn't specify the !Version:
IDL> !VERSION
{
"ARCH": "x86_64",
"OS": "Win32",
"OS_FAMILY": "Windows",
"OS_NAME": "MicrosoftWindows",
"RELEASE": "8.4",
"BUILD_DATE": "Sep272014",
"MEMORY_BITS": 64,
"FILE_OFFSET_BITS": 64
}
This sequence of commands crashes IDL:
IDL> a = dictionary()
IDL> a['item'] = 0l
IDL> a.item++
Whereas this works:
IDL> a = dictionary()
IDL> a['item'] = 0l
IDL> a['item']++
IDL> a
{
"item": 1
}
I never tried this in 8.3 and I've uninstalled 8.3 already.
Cheers,
Helder

I just checked. This problem is not connected to the IDLDE, but it also occurs from the IDL command line.
