Unexpected Compiler error on Thread.yield()

[James Caska]

I am trying to compile the following test for threads. It runs as long as I don't have Thread.yield () which generates a syntax error, or Thread.sleep(1) which emits an int bytecode instead of long for the parameter.

-------

namespace Boojay.Boogie

 

import java.lang 

class T(Thread):

loops_ as int

def constructor(loops as int):

loops_ = loops

def run():

for x in range(loops_):

print loops_

#Thread.yield() # compile fails

Thread.sleep(1) # compiles ok

class TestBoo():

def doTest():

T(3).start()

T(4).start()

T(5).start()

--------

The Thread.yield() is generating the following boojay compiler error

>boojay\src\Boojay.Boogie\TestBoo.boo(14,19): BCE0043: Unexpected token: ..

>boojay\src\Boojay.Boogie\TestBoo.boo(14,25): BCE0 043: Unexpected token: (.

>boojay\src\Boojay.Boogie\TestBoo.boo(14,26): BCE0 043: Unexpected token: ).

Any suggestions on what causes this/how to fix it. I need yield() as I use simple threading.

Thanks in advance.

I've just committed an improvement to boo master that allows yield in
member name position
(https://github.com/bamboo/boo/commit/2c6b923ede17335c5e1d806b3a6e920680f73f8e).

Rebuild boojay against that and it should work.
