patch 9.0.1780: Vim9 type not defined during object creation Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/618e47d1cd93954bad26d47e5353b4f1432daa5e Author: Yegappan Lakshmanan <yegappan@yahoo.com> Date: Tue Aug 22 21:29:28 2023 +0200 patch 9.0.1780: Vim9 type not defined during object creation Problem: Vim9 type not defined during object creation Solution: Define type during object creation and not during class definition, parse mulit-line member initializers, fix lock initialization If type is not specified for a member, set it during object creation instead of during class definition. Add a runtime type check for the object member initialization expression Also, while at it, when copying an object or class, make sure the lock is correctly initialized. And finally, parse multi-line member initializers correctly. closes: #11957 closes: #12868 closes: #12869 closes: #12881 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: Yegappan Lakshmanan <yegappan@yahoo.com> Co-authored-by: LemonBoy <thatlemon@gmail.com>
