COLUMN_INDEX_OUT_OF_RANGE when using iter.field<T>() with .oper(flecs::Or)

[MeTheFlea]

Describe the bug When using a system query with an OR term, I seem to be unable to get the value of the field out using iter.field<T>().

fatal: iter.hpp: 89: assert: m_array != nullptr COLUMN_INDEX_OUT_OF_RANGE

To Reproduce

struct Position {
    float x, y, z;
};
struct Velocity {
    float x, y, z;
};
flecs::world ecs;
ecs.entity().set<Position>( { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f } );
ecs.entity().set<Velocity>( { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f } );

auto s = ecs.system<>()
    .term<Position>().oper( flecs::Or )
    .term<Velocity>()
    .each( []( flecs::iter &iter, size_t index ) {
        if( iter.world().id<Position>() == iter.id( 1 )) {
            iter.field<Position>( 1 )[index]; // COLUMN_INDEX_OUT_OF_RANGE
        }
    } );
s.run();

Expected behavior iter.is_set(1) also returns true, so I expected to be able to get the value of the Position component in this query.

Additional context I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding the API, but looking at the example here lead me to believe that this would be possible.

Yup that's expected behavior. Field types must be static during iteration, which is why OR chains with different types aren't available as fields to the iterator.

What should (now- I just checked in a fix for an issue) work is the following code:

    auto s = ecs.system()
        .with<Position>().or_()
        .with<Velocity>()
        .each( []( flecs::iter &iter, size_t index ) {
            if( iter.world().id<Position>() == iter.id( 1 )) {
                const Position *p = &iter.range().get<Position>()[index];
            }
        } );

Also, congrats on creating the 1000th issue 🎉

Thank you! This seems to work correctly for me.

Haha! Thanks for being so responsive and for the great project, still a bit new to using it but I've been having a good time playing around with it so far!

@SanderMertens Is the Or operator C example at https://www.flecs.dev/flecs/md_docs_Queries.html#autotoc_md206 still valid? So using ecs_field is not the right way anymore for this case? I can open a new issue if it's an issue =D

Fixed it!

WOW, thank you, man!
