Dim Array At Constant Issue (*solved*)

[Ljg701]

Hi,

I'm trying to dim an array at a specific address which has been defined as a constant of type uinteger, unless I add 0 to the constant the code does not compile. 

const tileStart as uinteger = $4000+384

dim tile(0 to 255) as uinteger at tileStart         'this fails to compile with "Address must be a numeric constant expression" 
'dim tile(0 to 255) as uinteger at tileStart+0         compiles OK

print at 0,0;str(tileStart)

Am I missing something?

This is version: [v1.14.0]

I'll check that. If you're right you've hit a bug! Thanks for reporting it
It will be fixed in 1.14.1 (soon to be released).
I'll keep you updated here!
