Posted: 22 September 2006, 1:32 AM Post subject: Structures with BoundedStrings |
|
|
I want to create a structure with BoundedStrings (two of them, just a few bytes long)
I want it to look like this:
| Code: | Public Structure CID
Public MID as byte
Public OID as UnsignedInteger
Public PNM as BoundedString(6)
Public PRev as byte
Public SerNum as UnsignedLong
Public MDT as BoundedString(7)
End Structure |
I want to allocate the structure in the main program, then fill the structure in a subroutine.
I allocate it like this:
I want to pass it like this:
| Code: | | Public Sub MMCInfo(byRef CIDInfo as CID) |
And when I do it, I get this error
| Code: | | Internal error: variable.cpp(2576), Rev 674: unsupported Based type, "MMC_API.bas" line 135 |
Are BoundedStrings not legal in a structure?
--------- As I test this further, it seems that I can not actually assign characters to the structures string element with the statement
| Code: | | CIDInfo.PNM = "test" |
This is what generates the error code

Upon further testing, the structure is fine.
The problem occurs when passing it to the subroutine.
How does one pass a reference to a structure to a subroutine legally?

Just as you have done. The problem only occurs when referencing string types in a structure passed to a procedure. This is another symptom of the problem that Steve reported yesterday. It has already been fixed.

I suspected that Steve's problem might be related to mine. I worked around it with global variables for now.
