#35 Array initializer may not contain null

[Bill St. Clair]

x = new String[] {null, "foo"} gets the following error in bsh-1.01:

java.lang.NullPointerException at java.lang.reflect.Array.newArray(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(Array.java:54) at bsh.BSHArrayInitializer.eval(BSHArrayInitializer.java:47) at bsh.BSHArrayDimensions.eval(BSHArrayDimensions.java:48) at bsh.BSHArrayDimensions.eval(BSHArrayDimensions.java:36) at bsh.BSHAllocationExpression.objectArrayAllocation(BSHAllocationExpression.java:82) at bsh.BSHAllocationExpression.eval(BSHAllocationExpression.java:40) at bsh.BSHPrimaryExpression.eval(BSHPrimaryExpression.java:48)
The problem appears to be in BSHArrayInitializer.eval(). It should probably use the "baseType" input parameter instead of the type of the first initializer as the type for the "initializers" array.
