Jira (PUP-485) Add functions for type operations

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on an issue   Re: Add functions for type operations A useful function is: assert_type(type, value) That checks that the value is an instance of the given type and returns the value if so and raises an error otherwise. This makes it easier to use the type system without having to write conditional logic. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-485 Add functions for type operations Add functions: * type_of(object) # performs type inference and returns the type * is_a(type, object) # true if object is instance of type Type can also be checked with comparison e.g. these two are equivalent: * String <= type_of($x) * $x.is_a(String) This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159-sha1:44eaede) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
