[Pas2js] Pas2js fails to produce valid code for default constructor expressed with empty parentheses...

[Michael Van Canneyt]

Hi,

Please keep your test projects as small as possible. It's difficult to see
where the actual issue is because of all the extra code in your project.

The following minimal project demonstrates the issue:

{$mode objfpc}
program ta;

Var
   a : TObject;

begin
   a:=TObject.Create;
end.

I tested a version with the () and without, and there is indeed a difference:

With parenthesis:

     $mod.a = pas.System.TObject.$create();

Without parenthesis:
     $mod.a = pas.System.TObject.$create("Create");

So there is indeed a bug. Mattias, any idea ?

Michael.
