try
	a int[];
	a.getSize();
onexception(e NullValueException)
	syslib.writestderr(e.message);
end

The code does not go into the onexception block because it's not an EGL exception - instead it's a core NPE.

The generated code is: a.getSize();
In RBD we would wrap anything on a reference type with egl.checkNull() so that our own exception type would be thrown (and therefore caught).

Justin,

After the recent language changes, I think this would probably work as-is;  a can never be null.   However, there is still an issue here because if a is nullable, then the RT null check should be generated....

Yes, the declaration should now be "a aint[]?;" to cause this problem.

Fixed;  the array type template wasn't respecting / enforcing nullable.
