Another Thing I Can't Figure Out

Can anyone please tell me why the following code produces the "Error 46" below? If the first line is removed or, if in the third line, CRun is changed to BRun, or, if Boolean in the first line is changed to Integer, it works.

I've searched both SF and MPLAB docs and can find no mention of the Error 46 message

Dim AEnable as Boolean
Dim BRun, CRun as Boolean
CRun = false

Looks like a compiler bug.
if you put all three on the same line it works.

Code: Select all

//Dim AEnable as Boolean
Dim AEnable, BRun, CRun as Boolean
CRun = false

maybe a pb du to the optimizer !!!

I have had similar oddities.
Sometimes having to move declarations around, or having to put each on a separate line.

A bit annoying but entirely workaroundable.

David B. gave me an explanation some months ago on the Forum - I think that was one of the last times he appeared here. A pity.

Yes, that's what I finally did to resolve the problem

pb?

I would say more than a bit annoying as I blew almost two hours trying to narrow the problem down and, find the error definition (which I still haven't).

I wonder if there is an itemization anywhere of other compiler quirks or bugs that might save a SF novice from wasting a lot of time in future?

As far as other oddities go, I still get "END expected" errors for which I have to shuffle code around to correct and have not yet quite figured out what the rules are.

Anyhow, thanks all for your help........
