Issue #13210 has been updated by Chris Price.

Status changed from Needs Decision to Accepted
Target version set to Telly

OK.  I'm going to go ahead and just mark this ticket as accepted, and get the 
deprecation warning added for Telly.  That will give us some lead time to 
figure out when we want to make the actual switch.

Thanks for all of the feedback.

Bug #13210: undef changes into '' when passed to function as a param
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13210#change-59043

Author: Timur Batyrshin

Target version: Telly

Keywords: 
Branch: 


Suppose we have a manifest like that:
<pre>
define foo ( $x = '1' ) {
  notify { "x${x}": }
}

class bar {
  $x = myfunc( undef )
  foo {'no1': x=> $x }
}

class baz {
  $x = undef
  foo {'no2': x=> $x }
}


include bar
include baz
</pre>

With myfunc() defined like that:
<pre>
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
    newfunction(:myfunc, :type => :rvalue) do |param|
      return param
    end
end
</pre>

When applying the manifest we get the following output.
<pre>
notice: x
notice: /Stage[main]/Bar/Foo[no1]/Notify[x]/message: defined 'message' as 'x'
notice: x1
notice: /Stage[main]/Baz/Foo[no2]/Notify[x1]/message: defined 'message' as 'x1'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.06 seconds
</pre>

However the same message should be produced in both calls to foo.
