v5.20: problem with comparing a bit in a bte wth const [OK]

[Dany]

Hi, this problem popped up in the 5.20 version, it was not there in v5.00:

Code: Select all

procedure Byte2Bin(Value: byte; var S: string[8]);
var I: byte;
begin
  I := 0;
  while I < 8 do
  begin
    if Value.I = 0                      // <------------- here error: "=" is not a valid identifier.
    then S[7 - I] := '0'
    else S[7 - I] := '1';
    Inc(I);
  end;
  S[8] := 0; // terminator
end;

p.s.

Code: Select all

I.J := not (TestBit(I, J));

gives: ")" is not a valid identifier

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dany,

There are other problems like this. I entered a ticket for this:

Code: Select all

  ABuffer^.TX_Flags.TRANSMITTING_FLAG_CURRENT_BIT := ABuffer^.TX_TransmittingMessage.MessageBytes[ByteIndex].Offset; <<<<<<

1354 301 ";"is not valid identifier NMRA_DCC.mpas

Back to 5.0 for me... yup still compiles on 5.0

Hi,

same probleme with V5.20


procedure write24c32(adr : word ; da : byte);
var h, l, val8, i : byte;
begin
INTCON1.15 := 1;
h := da;
TRISE.6 := 0;
TRISE.7 := 0;
PORTE.7 := 1;
pause1;
PORTE.6 := 1;
pause1;
PORTE.7 := 0;
pause1;
PORTE.6 := 0;
pause1;
val8 := $A2;
for i:= 7 downto 0 do begin
if val8.i = 1 then PORTE.7 := 1 else PORTE.7 := 0; <------- 696 301 "="is not valid identifier util.mpas

Any news mE?

No word on my ticket yet either.

No new version yet? I can not use v5.20, I also had to go back to v5.00.

Hi,

We expect a new release by the end of the year, so you shouldn't wait too long.

Regards,
Filip.

Indeed Jim, Thanks, solved in mP PRO for dsPIC v5.40.
