|
|
I suspect this code demonstrates a compiler bug
| Code: |
option base 1
sub main()
dim sMid as string, s1 as string
do
s1 = console.readline()
debug.print "Readline returned:";s1
sMid = mid(s1, 1, 2)
'select case sMid ' this works correctly
select case mid(s1, 1, 2) ' this does not work
case "AB"
debug.print "case AB"
case "XX"
debug.print "case XX"
case else
debug.print "case else:";mid(s1, 1, 2)
end select
loop
end sub

| By inspection, I see that the generated code is incorrect. It should be creating a temporary variable to hold the string value returned by the Mid() function. I don't know yet how difficult it will be to resolve. In the interim, the solution is to introduce a temporary variable manually as you suggested. |

The initial assessment of the problem was incorrect. The solution required a change to the firmware. A
Firmware Update has been posted. |
