[chuck-users] sociative polydimenional arrays

[Spencer Salazar]

Hi Kassen,
Your understanding of of multi-dimensional arrays is correct.  This  
bug seems to occur because ChucK uses a different instruction for  
accessing multidimensional arrays, which seems to disregard  
associative/string indices.  This is something that can hopefully be  
cleaned up pretty quickly.

One quick fix for this goes as follows:

int bar[3][8];

3 => bar[0][0];

5 => (bar[0])["test"];

<<< bar[0][0] >>>;
<<< (bar[0])["test"] >>>;

But ideally one would not need to use parentheses to enforce correct  
array access behavior.

Thanks for reporting this.
