mP PRO 1.40 - signed constants phoney error

[janni]

When assigning a signed constant with negative value declared in a unit, like

Code: Select all

const my_short_const: short = -1;

to the same type variable in main unit, the compiler issues an error 'Argument is out of range..'. Explicitely specifying the type, like

Code: Select all

my_short_var := short(my_short_const);

prevents the error to show up. This concerns any signed integral type. There is no such problem, though, if the constant is declared in main unit.

Thanks.
We will fix this asap.

I can not reproduce this, it could be that it was fixed in the meantime. Could you, please, give me a code example to srdjan@mikroe.com?

Wouldn't be the first time you fixed something before it was noticed . An example was sent.
