Where to file Neko crashes/bugs? Any clue on this one (creating an instance from a class ref)?

[Michael Whitaker]

So, I'm trying to write a simple manager where classes are registered and then instantiated later on. Something like this:

public function test() {
  this.registerComp(EmptyComponent); // EmptyComponent is a class that implements the Component class.
}

// Component is a class with a few static functions for getting/setting id, etc.
public function registerComp<Component>(compRef:Class<Component>, ?withId:Int = 0):Void {

  if (compRef == null)
    throw 'Unable to register a nil component!';

  var created = Type.createInstance(compRef, []);
  trace("created: ",created, " from ",compRef);
}

This runs in HTML5 and on a Mac (C++/Objc?), but dies with Neko in OSX. I have a slight suspicion that it's a 3rd party app I'm running in the background (which also crashes whenever neko crashes via this code), but can't easily kill the 3rd party app to test. 

Is this a valid bug or is it just on my machine? Anyone care to run it on mac/windows using neko?

What do you mean by "crash" ? Do you get an exception/error message ? If
yes which ?

Best,

Neko reflection requires the same number of arguments as declared in the arguments array regardless of their optional declaration. If you have optional constructor arguments you need to pass a value in for them.
