The Cobra program is correct, but the cobra.exe (of Cobra svn:3116) cannot compile a try-catch statement in a method or property of a mixin.

This little program contains the 3 possible forms of a try-catch statement.
It reproduces the failure:

mixin Mixin1

def m1
try
pass
catch
pass

def m2
try
pass
catch Exception
pass

def m3
try
pass
catch ex as Exception
CobraCore.noOp(ex)

class A adds Mixin1
pass

class P
def main is shared
pass


This file contains a minimal patch for this issue:
Mixin-catch-stmt.patch
(2.04 KiB) Downloaded 2225 times

When applied, to the source code of Cobra svn:3116, the test program above compiles and runs, and -testify does not show any regression in the test suite of the compiler.

Could someone try it out, with his private Cobra source?

How to try it out, in a simple way:
1. Precondition: you have downloaded the Cobra source code, for example into the directory "CobraSvnWorkspace" (how to do this is described here).
2. Download the patch file into this CobraSvnWorkspace.
3. Apply the patch with some SVN client or edit the source files by hand.
4. Run the installation program again (in CobraSvnWorkspace/Source/bin/install-from-workspace).
5. Compile and run the above test program.
On my computer it works now, and the CommandLineTool program as well.
