Nested records which seek to assign values between each other now fail to compile

[craig.fletcher@…]

Sample code follows below. This code compiles in previous releases of OMC.

model DebugI
  record InnerA
    Integer c = 2;
  end InnerA;

  record InnerB
    Integer c;
  end InnerB;

  record BaseRecord
    InnerA inner_a;
    Integer d = inner_a.c;          //...this works
    InnerB inner_b (c = inner_a.c); //...this fails to compile
  end BaseRecord;

  BaseRecord base;
end DebugI;

I'm afraid I can't replicate the issue, the model compiles and simulates without any errors for me. Can you be more specific on what goes wrong?

@craig.fletcher, are you using the new front end (default from OMEdit, needs -d=newInst from scripts)?

I'll re-confirm the code and come back to you with details.

No, compiling from the command line. (Linux)

Then you need to add the -d=newInst flag to use the new frontend, the old one has some issues with record constructors in this case. The new frontend will be the default also on the command line in the next major release.

We've confirmed here that building with the -d=newInst switch works fine. Thanks all!
