@ -448,13 +448,18 @@ anything. No typechecking will be performed on assignments. Assigning

Note that this is different from fteqcc's __NULL__ in that gmqcc
|
||||
generates an actual empty global, rather than using the global at
|
||||
offset 0 because it would overlap with the global RETURN variable when
|
||||
dealing with vectors, which starts at offset 1. Setting a vector to
|
||||
__NULL__ in fteqcc causes only the vector's x component to be 0.
|
||||
However, its y and z components will contain the previous x and y
|
||||
components of the global OFS_RETURN.
|
||||
Note that this is different from fteqcc's __NULL__: In fteqcc,
|
||||
__NULL__ maps to the integer written as '0i'. It's can be assigned to
|
||||
function pointers and integers, but it'll error about invalid
|
||||
instructions when assigning it to floats without enabling the FTE
|
||||
instruction set. There's also a bug which allows it to be assigned to
|
||||
vectors, for which the source will be the global at offset 0, meaning
|
||||
the vector's y and z components will contain the OFS_RETURN x and y
|
||||
components.

In that gmqcc the nil global is an actual global filled with zeroes,
|
||||
and can be assigned to anything including fields, vectors or function
|
||||
pointers, and they end up becoming zeroed.
