Bug or feature?

[bigsofty]

Functions that are used like this, work...

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

LOCAL myb%= init_myb(100)

but...

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

GLOBAL myb%= init_myb(100)

... are never called, no error either?

Whatever Gernot says I never initiate a variable with a function, no matter what :-)

They should be called. But! Before the main starts. They might not STDOUT or DEBUG messages.

I tested and the correct value was assigned.

[bigsofty]

Hmm, its definitely not working with one of my functions... I'll try to create a better reproducible error listing.

[bigsofty]

OK, 2 files "test2.gbas" and "testlib.gbas"...

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


LOCAL a% = test()
GLOBAL b% = test()
//b% = test() // Unremark me to see it working

DEBUG "a%="+a%+" b%="+b%+"\n"

and...

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

TYPE myType
a#[]
ENDTYPE

GLOBAL myArr[] AS myType

FUNCTION test%:
LOCAL b AS myType
DIMPUSH myArr[], b
l% = LEN(myArr)-1
RETURN l%
ENDFUNCTION

Run to see error.

This is basically an abstraction of my code, I think it could be narrowed down a little further though.

a=1, b=2 - fine?

[bigsofty]

With remark in place, "a%=1 b%=0" for me?

BTW I'm using version 9.040

Ahhh - Try V10

[bigsofty]

Ooh ran out of time today, I'll give a wee go 1st thing tomorrow. 

[MrTAToad]

It works in V10 - whether in 1 file or multiple ones

[bigsofty]

OK, confirmed, this has been fixed in the current V10 beta!
