array of string

[jpc]

found some strange behaviour after declaring a variable as array of string.
The compiler gets confused and reports strange errors. In order to test just put something like

Code: Select all

whatever : array[3] of string[5];

between variable-declarations.
Another remark : the type boolean is not available , at least non existent in help , if i use this type it compiles without problems though. The editor warns with red underlining of the unknown type

Use byte instead of boolean , works OK.

BTW , Do you want to try my additional string library for AVR ?

Florin ,

i know boolean is just a byte , was just surprised to see it not documented and not recognized by the new compiler. Actually i think we must be very carefull about expectations with respect to bit-types , i already noticed that the actual implementation consumes many extra cycles( no real surprise)
With respect to this string issue , it is just a minor problem that certainly will be fixed. I do not use that many strings in my type of projects , others will certainly have better possibility to do some extensive testing with your library.

Works fine here.
A small example which does not compile would be helpful.

Thenks.

Ok, the error is reproduced. We are fixing it.
Thanks.
