new not defined error

[rwgardner]

I just updated to Version 0.3.0-prerelease+2486 (2014-04-04 06:05 UTC) Commit 7211853.

This sounds like issue #3487.

I get an "ERROR: new not defined" with respect to a constructor definition for a composite data type, where I did not previously get such an error.

Unfortunately, I can't post the code and haven't been able to create a simple, reproducible example. I will keep looking.

I tried make cleanall as suggested in the other issue. It did not solve the problem.

Almost surely a dupe of #5153. If you do come up with a reproducible test case, please file it there.

If that's the same case, I just came up with this example:

type Lala
  p::Float64
  Lala = new()
end ## >> ERROR: new not defined

Don't you need to write Lala() = new() ?

[oyd11]

right, for a proper type definition, thought this might be related to this error popping up
