[4.0.0] Hard crash where VM crash expected

[Matt]

Code: Select all

class caca:actor{
    cacodemon notcaco;
    override void postbeginplay(){
        super.postbeginplay();
        notcaco=cacodemon(spawn("lostsoul"));
        notcaco.target=self;
        //notcaco.stamina=1000;
    }
}

start map, "summon caca" in console, exit console

Expected: VM crash with null pointer
Actual: Hard crash to desktop

Expected behaviour occurs if I set stamina instead of target.

This looks like a code generation oversight in the JIT compiler. This particular assignment has no null check. With vm_jit 0 it properly aborts.
It's not something I'm going to invest more time in for now, though.
