FUNCTION UFNprintText(printText$ AS STRING )
Sometimes the function will just crash the ZX Spectrum emulator
Adding a RETURN 0 makes it work.
Just thought you might know this?
1) What version are you using?
2) For functions like the above that return numbers, not putting a return will return a random (undefined value) but should never crash the program. If it does, please post a code snippet here to track it.
1) zxbc.py 1.14.1
2) Well I tried to write a small .BAS program to reproduce it but it does not break !
The Function does not return any value
The output of the compiler generates this error so it seems it needs a value regardless?
Code:
aTest5.bas:16: warning: [W190] Function 'buildVocab' should return a value
This is not a big thing for me as now I simply had a RETURN 0 for functions that don't return a value.
One thing I wonder if returning String Arrays is on the cards sometime soon?
Thank you
