.tap file code not executed - manuelzo75 - 04-24-2025
Hello, I'm a newbie tinkering with the Spectrum.
I tried to get some code to test like the classic 'clock.bas' or 'circle. bas' and then converting a .bas file to .tap.
In some cases, I obtain some errors like:
manuelzompetta@Manuels-MacBook-Pro zxbasic % python zxbc.py clock.bas
clock.bas:21: warning: [W100] Using default implicit type 'float' for 'a'
clock.bas:22: warning: [W100] Using default implicit type 'float' for 'sx'
clock.bas:22: warning: [W100] Using default implicit type 'float' for 'sy'
clock.bas:25: warning: [W100] Using default implicit type 'ulong' for 't2'
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise NotImplementedError(f"type conversion from {stype} to long is undefined")
NotImplementedError: type conversion from u32 to long is undefined
In other cases I obtain .tap file but when I execute it in the Spectrum or in an emulator nothing happens, I just obtain the welcome screen.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

It was hard to read from the attached image, it is too small (or is it my Firefox fault?).
When reporting problems, please always state explicitly:
- the compiler version you used
- which options were passed to the compiler (show the full command used when compiling)
- your operating system
Please don't get me wrong, this information helps people who are willing to help you, so you are more likely to get a useful response when you provide this info.
Anyway, I don't think that you are doing anything wrong, I tried now with "clock.bas" and the compilation failed with same output that you show.
I tried on Windows 10, ZX Basic version 1.18.0 (latest stable at the moment), using these options:
Quote:zxbc.exe --optimize 2 --output ..\clock\clock.tap --output-format=tap --BASIC --autorun examples\clock.bas
So, this example seems to have bugs.
I haven't experienced the other outcome you describe (compilation passed, but then the tap file isn't correct).

I have fixed the font-size of your error message. :-)
This looks like a bug in the compiler. What compiler version are you using? (run python zxbc.py --version to see it)
EDIT: I have tested 1.18.0 and it's a new bug introduced in this version. Fixing it...
RE: .tap file code not executed - boriel - 04-27-2025
Please download the latest version 1.18.1 (just published), that fixes this bug:

The clock example works well with 1.18.1 (on Windows 10).
