This fixes issue 1913.
Previously, when performing an assignment whose variables were originally declared in a tuple-based declaration, the projection components were reused:
This happened because of some code in the
_post_assignment_operation
function inexpression_to_slithir.py
:We shouldn't be reusing the variable's original projection component, but there is a reason that code was written; namely, this code translates a multi-variable declaration into a multi-variable assignment.
It also removes padding
None
entries and records each component index in its corresponding variable instead. As we've seen, this approach doesn't work, because not all tuple assignments are generated from variable declarations. To solve this, this PR leaves theNone
components inside of the tuple in order to select the correct projection index for each variable.
