Strangely my proportional Print SUB from Tips section, with example, does not work anymore with the latest development version of ZXBC, because the address of text in b$ is returned incorrectly (in ROM).
Code: DIM b$ AS STRING
b$="test"
PRINT PEEK(Uinteger,@b$)+2
Code: DIM b$ AS STRING
dim adr as uinteger
b$="test"
adr=PEEK(Uinteger,@b$)+2
print adr
comes with a "Undefined label '_test_b'." if used in SUBs

| strings initialized? |

Yesterday I experienced a kind of coding poltergeist with the following simple function:
Code: function strings(times as ubyte, text as string ) as string
dim i as ubyte
dim result as string
for i = 1 to times
let result = result + text
next i
return result
end function
The program did strange things when printing the string returned by strings(): it printed other strings of the program that had nothing to do, and then froze. The reason was I had supposed the DIMed strings were initialized to an empty string but they are not; it took time to find out. When I added a simple line, everything worked as expected:
Code: dim result as string
let result = ""
I've searched in the forum, but found no reference about this. The DIM wiki page doesn't mention string initialitazion. I just want to confirm this issue before updating the wiki. Are strings not initialized to empty strings because of a technical issue or simply because it's not implemented yet? Is this definitive or will it change in the future?

This is not a bug but an innocuous typo. The following lines in library/csrlin.bas:
Code: dim maxy as ubyte at 23683: REM 'Max COL position + 1 (default 33)
dim ny as ubyte at 23689 : REM current maxx - column screen position
Should read:
Quote: dim maxy as ubyte at 23683: REM 'Max LIN position + 1 (default 24)
dim ny as ubyte at 23689 : REM current maxy - line screen position
I guess they were copied and pasted from library/pos.bas

| Any way to to include command line options into the code? |

Is there any compiler directive to include command line options into the source? I've looked in the docs and in the forum, and found some mentions about "#pragma", but nothing clear.
I always include the following comment at the top of my source
Code: ' Compile with the following command:
' zxb.py myprogram.bas --tap --autorun --BASIC --strict-bool
Code: #option tap
#option strict-bool
Code: #options tap strict-bool
Then all programs could be compiled just with zxb.py program.bas. Of course, the actual command line options would have higher priority than those in the source.

I was playing with putChars to tighten it and add attribs...
This comes back with "illegal character "." in line 52. There is indeed one in that line. It's in a comment. If you remove it (I already removed all the others) it freaks into "Too many errors. Giving up".
Line 52:
; gets screen address in HL, and bytes address in DE. [<<<< This . is apparently an error] Copies the 8 bytes to the screen
I have no idea why!
Code: SUB Baspaint (x as uByte,y as uByte, width as uByte, height as uByte, attribute as ubyte)
dim i,j as ubyte
FOR i=x to x+width-1
for j=y to y+height-1
poke (22528+(CAST(uinteger,32)*j)+i),attribute
next j
next i
END SUB
SUB paint (x as uByte,y as uByte, width as uByte, height as uByte, attribute as ubyte)
print x,y,width,height,attribute
