Re: [SMARTY] Re: object calls fail after upgrade to 2.6.4

After a closer look, it seems that nested objects worked unintentionally because Smarty saw the dash "-" in the "->" as a math operator and allowed it to slip through the parser. I tightened up the parsing a bit ("->" is no longer mistaken as a math operator) and now your code correctly fails ;) The reason objects as parameters to objects was not allowed is because PCRE does not support infinite recursion, and this would certainly not be practical to parse: {$foo->bar($foo->bar($foo->bar(...)))} However, since there is code relying on these little discrepancies, I have just committed to CVS the ability to do one level of object nesting. So, this is valid syntax: {$foo->bar($foo->bar))} {$foo->bar($foo->bar()))} {$foo->bar($foo->bar($foo)))} {$foo->bar($foo->bar($foo,$bar.blah,0))} However this is NOT permitted: {$foo->bar($foo->bar($foo->bar)))} Please test and let me know if there are problems.

Hmm, but it worked in 2.6.3, I have a lot of code relying on it. Even this used to work, and doesn't anymore: {$obj->meth($foo->var.bar)} => $this->_tpl_vars['foo']->var['bar'] Also, messju is right, the case where the first argument is a numeric constant is still broken.
