arraynew[type](params) vs object[method](params)

Hi all, Aether has 3 typed-array creation syntaxes: 1) ArrayNew(dataType=____) 2) [dataType][] 3) ArrayNew[dataType](params) Long-time community ask is for method invocation syntax object[method](params). See its conflict w/ #3? Lucee isn’t implementing #3 b/c it conflicts w/ their object[method](params) support. Proposal: A) Remove #3 or B ) replace it w/ ArrayNew(dimension[, dataType]) Possible conflicts: 1) ArrayNew(dimension[, dataType]) conflicts w/ ArrayNew(dimension[, isSynchronized]) if dataType is a CFC named true.cfc or no.cfc, for example 2) object[method](params) conflicts w/ ArrayNew[dataType](params) if object is a […]

Hugs for Ray Camden (cfjedimaster’s wife Jeanne died May 23rd)

Ray Camden’s wife Jeanne who died suddenly on May 23rd, 2018. Ray has been known in the ColdFusion world as cfjedimaster for many years. I felt sad reading this devastating news. Losing a life partner is hard. It sucks, actually.  I lost my life partner, Liz, in 1993 from cancer. I was depressed for at least 9 months afterwards. Just going through the motions of going to work, eating, watching TV and sleeping. It took me years to process it […]

type checking cannot be trusted

Type checking cannot be trusted. Repro: <cfscript> function f1(numeric myNumeric) { return min(myNumeric, 1); } function f2(numeric myNumeric) { return myNumeric.min(1); } </cfscript> <cfscript> function f3(date myDate) { return dateAadd(“d”, 1, myDate); } function f4(date myDate) { return myDate.add(“d”, 1); } </cfscript> I can break someone’s f2 by passing a date to the numeric argument. I can break someone’s f4 by passing a numeric to the date argument. Look at f1 vs f2 and f3 vs f4. See the only […]

Known Issues doc needs ticket numbers

Hi Adobe, We need a way to subscribe to the Known Issues tickets. That’s currently complicated due to the Known Issues doc not listing ticket numbers. Question: If some of those are internal tickets, then can they please be copied to Tracker? And the doc updated to list a ticket# for each? A list of “Thing X does Y instead of Z” isn’t so useful when we want: 1) To know what is the repro case 2) To vote on […]

CF Admin’s “Resources” icon

Hi Adobe, Could someone please explain the “Resources” icon at top-right of CF Admin? Clicking it returns us to CF Admin’s home screen, which raises questions: 1) Why does the tooltip say “Resources” instead of “Home”? 2) Why does the icon look nothing like a typical “Home” icon? 3) Why is it placed obscurely at the top-right between the Search & Info icons? I think that icon can be removed, since clicking the CF logo & “Adobe ColdFusion 2018 Administrator” […]
