Macrocompiler-Bug
Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2024 10:09 am
Hi Chris, Robert,
I experienced a (for us) serious bug in the macrocompiler. When I call a method with three parameters by reference an error occurs. This causes crashes in several scripts (VOSCRIPT) that run in the production environment of our customers.
Here is an example which shows the problem:
The output is:
Direct call 2 parameters:
OK
20.03.2024
Direct call 3 parameters:
OK
20.03.2024
21.03.2024
Indirect call 2 parameters:
OK
20.03.2024
Indirect call 3 parameters, third by value:
OK
20.03.2024
. .
Indirect call 3 parameters, third by ref:
Die Liste hatte eine feste Größe.
Press any key to continue...
TIA Karl
