Problems with word array in a unit.

[Dany]

Hi, there is apparently a problem in mP 8.0.0.1 when accessting arrays that are declared in a "unit" (not the main project file).

This code works (as could expected):

Code: Select all

const BtMask: array[0..15] of word = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768);
....
JWrd := BtMask[7];

gives the value "128" in the variable "JWrd" (which is declared as a word).

When however "BtMask" is declared in another unit, "JWrd" gets filled with "512" in stead of "128".

The problem does not occur with byte arrays declared in a "unit".

Another finding:

Code: Select all

I := 7;
JWrd := BtMask[I];

works fine.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.
I did place a post with the support desk also.

p.s. I think this type of issue is there already for a while now, see http://www.mikroe.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... const+unit

Reply from the mE support desk:
Successfully reproduced this problem, and informed our software developers about this issue. They will fix this in coming releases of mikroPascal compiler.
