Ternary operators bug fixed
by Joe Maller on 20 Apr, 2004 12:44, Applies to: FCP 4.5 (HD) from: 66.209.81.134

An over-agressive execution bug in ternary operators has been fixed in version 4.5. The following now works:

x = (true) ? x/1 : x/0;

In earlier versions, the second, false option would still execute causing the script to fail. As of version 4.5, this has been fixd and the false option is no longer executed.

For backwards compatibility, if/else statements are safer.
