    Problems / Core / ASCIIZ initialization

    Hi Eros,

    I found a problem in core or parsing.
    Try following:
    [code=thinbasic]
    uses "Console"

    local a AS ASCIIZ * 256 = "Ciao"
    local b AS ASCIIZ * 256 value "Ciao"

    PRINTL "A =", a
    PRINTL "B =", b
    waitkey
    [/code]
    For a I get nothing, for b I get correct value. So it seems VALUE is not the same as equal sign in this case.


    Thanks,
    Petr

    I think that problem is related to every fixed string.
    Parser try to compute 256 = "Ciao" as a numeric statement resulting in logical expression always evaluating to %FALSE so zero.

    I'm trying to get a way to avoid this behave.

    Thanks for finding it.
