#1081 General parsing bug with non numeric expressions

[Anonymous]

The example submitted to the swig-user list:

void useSomeFunc( int i=GetTestClass().someFunc() );

Response from William:

This seems to be a general parsing bug. Non numeric expressions containing . or -> are not parsable. Please log as a bug. Workaround is to simplify the expression, eg:

int GetTestClassSomeFunc() {
return GetTestClass().someFunc();
}
void useSomeFunc( int i=GetTestClassSomeFunc() );

or persuade someone or yourself to fix the bug. The fix to this is going to be somewhere around exprcompound in parser.y. Please add this info to the bug report.
