Variable scope Thread - qc

I came across this recently in reference to an issue with the original qcc:

entity scope;		// global var

// now re-use "scope" as a passed parm var
void(entity scope) callfn =
{
	scope.think();		// fails to use passed parm, calls .think() for global scope

};

I will have to test this with fteqcc to see how it is handled. Then report back.

Test code set:

// remove this test code

void() test1 = { bprint("test thought 1\n"); };
void() test2 = { bprint("test thought 2\n"); };

entity scope;

void(entity scope) testfire =
{
	scope.think();	
};
/// REMOVE

void() W_Attack =
{
	local	float	r;

/// REMOVE
	scope = spawn();
	scope.think = test1;

	newmis = spawn();
	newmis.think = test2;

	testfire(newmis);
/// REMOVE

//... rest of attack

};

My version of fteqcc (lets just say modified v1.00) performed thus:

Execution of scope.think(); in testfire calls the function specified by the passed parameter "newmis".

Note that in the testfire function body with this method, you will not have access to the global entity "scope".

The curious may want to test this on their preferred qcc platform.
