Just upgraded from 8.2 to the latest version and my code has gone breasts to the sky.
It seems that none of the types that are declared in a separate source file are being initialised and i get the famous
Quote"wrong argument type : TYPE is not declared"
If i put the type declarations in the main code, all works fine again.
Is there something that I have missed on the recent upgrades where I have to specify the program to look at this source code file first?
I remember this being an issue many moons ago, but the it was fixed and been fantastic ever since.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and just to add a strange one to the mix, if I open the source in 8.2 it works fine, if i open it it v9(the lastest) it doesnt.
If I then REOPEN in back in 8.2 I then get the error in 8.2 and it stops initialising them :giveup:
It sounds like some types need to be initialised in a specific order. (Un)fortunately the latest version re-sorts the source files by name order, thus possibly causing the problem. See http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=5933.0 for more details.
Thanks for response MrTAToad
I have just fixed the problem and was in process of updating.
Here is the problem and solution.
If in a separate source file you have the following
TYPE Sprite
Active
ENDTYPE
GLOBAL Sprites[] AS Sprite
it wont work. HOWEVER, if you move the GLOBAL Sprites[] AS Sprite to your main source and leave the TYPE declaration in you separarte source file, it works fine.
So the conclusion is that TYPE are fine in a separate source, but the GLOBAL must be in the main source.
Yes, that can happen :)
Well at least its panic over :)
I was fortunate with mine as in most cases a TYPE is only used in the file that it's defined it :)
