[chuck-users] .size() fails to properly instantiate objects

[Kassen]

Fellow ChucKists,

Below you'll find some example code proving that extending a array of
instances of a home-made class using ".size()"doesn't properly instantiates
the new objects, leading to nullpointers and the shred being dropped. The
"<<" operator, using "new" does lead to proper instantiation.

I feel this is a bug.

Yours,
Kas.

=====================8<==============================

//instantiate a array of home made classes
foo bar[1];

//check that this works
<<<"your lucky number is ", bar[0].value>>>;

//grow by one.
bar << new foo ;

//make sure it's instantiated
<<<"your lucky number is ", bar[1].value>>>;

//grow by a another one
bar.size(bar.size() + 1);

//make sure we did, size should now be 3
<<<"size is now", bar.size()>>>;

//try to verify this is instantiated, it won't be
<<<"your unlucky number is ", bar[2].value>>>;

class foo
    {
    Std.rand2(0, 10) => int value;
    }
===================================================
