Argument out of range error on compilation

[bcdaus]

I am trying to compile a file written in dsPic Basic and modified to run in Pro.

After some battles with libraries, I got it to compile, but now I get an argument out of range error.

What does this mean ??

Running beta 1.95 on a Windows 7 machine with Admin rights. I realise there are a bunch of other error messages about type conversion and things not being used, but I can live with Hints and Warnings while I try to get some stats on how much smaller the code base is when compiled with the new version.

now I get an argument out of range error

It's a beta, so there may be some errors that we, users, should find. Maybe you spotted something new. Please try to reduce your code to bare minimum that still shows the error and post it here.

BTW, one of the already fixed errors that could give this message is connected with use of string literals, like

Code: Select all

txt:=txt+'abc';

Check if this isn't the problem.

Hi,
bcdaus, could you please open the support ticket at http://www.mikroe.com/en/support/ and attach ZIPPED demonstration project which can be built, so our developers could take a look at your code and figure out what's going on, and correct the possible compiler issues. This will benefit all users of the final release, and we would be very grateful if you respond quickly.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Aleksandar

Hi Aleksander,
I have opened the ticket as requested.

Aleksandar,
Do I take this to mean there will be no more Beta releases before the actual release, and that we should see the release version this year ??

With Thanks
Bill.

[anikolic]

Yes bcdaus,
We are expecting the official release by the end of December. If no major bug is detected, and for now everything seems to be going as planned.

Best regards,
Aleksandar

Hi Aleksandar,

I have the same error message after uninstalling the beta, installing and licensing the v2 release.

Any pointers ?
