DIM var ... AT @address (*solved*)

[LCD]

Hi Boriel.
The Address of a label or variable is afaik a constant (@label/@variable), so I wonder why it is not possible to use it in the DIM:

Code:

DIM variable AS UINTEGER AT @label

is rejected by the compiler.
I understand why it would reject variables, even if this would be useful, but @labels or @variablenames should be IMHO not rejected. I just noticed the saved space when using DIMed variable to a adress and then equation label=variable over POKE UINTEGER @label,value. Used this technique in "Yumiko in the haunted Mansion" to read and write frames counter system variable. This made a lot stuff simpler.

Hmmm.
Maybe I forgot this use case? Will check it, but the compiler should allow it.

OK, thanks for looking at this.
By the way, what does exitcode 255 mean?

*Confirmed* The "Variable Aliasing" feature is broken:

Hmmm. Seems I introduced this error during the deep changes in previous versions. :oops:

Also I got exit code 1.
How do you get error 255 (the same as -1)?

[boriel]

Okay. It seems fixed now.
Download version 1.3.0s924 and tell me if it works ok now.

I cannot reproduce how the Exit code -1 was done, because I saw it only once (Then I changed the code a little bit). BorIDE always displays the exit code, I just wondered. Maybe I can reproduce it later.
Anyway thanks for the new Version (Downloading!!!).

Please, confirm it is working (so I can marked this as *solved*).
There are other issues pending.
