[Swift-devel] Returning float from java( ) no longer works

[David Kelly]

In 0.95, this fails:
---
type file;

(float result) pow (float x, float y)
{
    result = java("java.lang.Math", "pow", x, y);
}

float f = pow(2.0, 2.0);
tracef("%f\n", f);
---

But when I replace java() with @java() it works for me...
