@ALL

in examining the compiler code I have identified a potential bug.

Has anyone imported 'STEPPORT' (as opposed to 'STEPPORTX', 'STEPPORTY' or 'STEPPORTZ')?

It seems to me that this cannot work.

Merlin.

Hi Merlin,
... and a MCU change in the project has no more effect in the *.ppro project file.
DeviceId etc are not replaced.

Hi Miparo.

Is this a new issue with the new compiler?

My comment relates to the old compiler too.

Regards

Hi Merlin,
sorry.
This happens in the new compiler.

@All

I have resolved the stepper issue. It was a semi-benign bug.

What I mean by that is that it might or might not cause the compiler to crash, but if it does not crash, the the resultant code will be correct. I have resolved the issue and it will be fixed in the next release.

I believe that I have seen reports of this kind of behaviour on this site, by I can't remember who reported it or where.

@Miparo, I believe I have resolved your issue. I will publish a fix shortly.

Hi Merlin,
and the next one

Quote

type

tParmRecX = record
xProgVerStart : word;
end;

var
parX : array[0..59] of byte;
ParmRecX[@parX] : tParmRecX;
......
......
ProgVerStart : word;

begin
ProgVerStart:= ParmRecX.xProgVerStart;
^
