Description

AdiIRC does not properly catch errors raised by com instances, thus resulting in com instances own error handling taking place

alias example {
  var %error
  var %inputJS = (function(){example=function(){throw new Error("WHY YOU NO CATCH THIS?")}})()
  var %execjs = example()

  ;; open a com
  comopen example MSScriptControl.ScriptControl
  if ($comerror) {
    %Error = Failed to create an instance of ScriptControl
  }
  elseif (!$com(example, language, 4, bstr, jscript) || $comerr) {
    %Error = Failed to set language
  }
  elseif (!$com(example, ExecuteStatement, 1, bstr, %inputjs) || $comerr) {
    %Error = Failed to load js
  }

  ;; AdiIRC SHOULD catch this error but it does not; instead the com's own error handling takes place
  ;; resulting in a popup box appearing. This is not the case for mIRC
  else {
    noop $com(example, eval, 1, bstr, %execjs)
  }

  :error
  if ($com(example)) comclose $v1
}

The com call does not throw an exception to AdiIRC, I have no solution for this.

Conclusion is it only happens with 64 bit AdiIRC, the exception is not caught using the Tablacus Script Control which is required for MSScriptControl.ScriptControl on 64 bit programs.
