mB 5.0.3 Beta 4 LongWord don't create pointer.

[MAN]

When we declare longword as a pointer the compiler issues a error. Well, more exactly, 2 manner.

If we place the caret pointer, after the var, we get a compiler error 'identifier "=" was not declared'.
if we remove the caret the compiler don't report nothing but, don't compile too.

I tested with DWord and working fine. The problem was seen in the family P16 and P18.

ex. Code:

Code: Select all

Const ArrayTest as String[4][9] = ("ABCDEFGHI","bbbbbbb","ccccc","ddddddd")

Dim J as ^Word
Dim K as ^DWord
Dim L as ^Longword

main:
J^ = @ArrayTest
nop
K^  = @ArrayTest
nop
L^ = @ArrayTest
nop
End.

And here the first index of array stay affected if the next won't have the same length. But I only see in the P16 family.
