Posted: 11 January 2012, 1:50 AM Post subject: Returning a structure from a class method

I am having a problem returning structures from functions within classes; the compiler says:

Quote:

Internal error: statement.cpp(1472), Rev 1805: no means to generate assignment code

Here is the simplest code that will generate the problem. Can anyone explain this behavior?

Code:

option objects

public structure thingy
public number as Integer
end structure

public class classy
public function method() as thingy
method.number = 2
end function

public function methodical() as integer
methodical = 3
end function
end class

public function func() as thingy
func.number = 1
end function

public sub main()
dim thing1 as thingy
dim thing2 as thingy
dim testObject as classy

thing1 = thing2 ' This line compiles.
thing1 = func() ' This line compiles.
thing1.number = testObject.methodical() ' This line compiles.
thing1 = testObject.method() ' This line does not compile. Why?
end sub

This is the same problem that was reported a few days ago. The new compiler version should handle it correctly.
