Possible Bug with compiling for pointers

[stevech]

Using current evaluation version, this code, in a module file, causes the compiler (not the IDE) to get hung in a loop. Have to task-kill. Is my code at fault? (I have removed all irrelevant code in the below):

Code: Select all

SUB PROCEDURE foo()

END SUB

SUB function getAtomic16bits(DIM p as ^WORD) as WORD
    dim n as WORD
    
    n = p^
    foo() ' compiler hangs in a loop with this BUT only if the preceding line of code is compiled
    getAtomic16bits = n
END SUB

Hello Steve,

unfortunately, this is compiler bug.
I reported this to our developers, and they will solve that for next release.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
