While working on the new compiler I discovered that DIM and DEF produce
the same output. Example DIM x:int and Def x:int.
Any ideas????
Older compatibility. DIM was EBA, DEF is IWB, if I remember right.

From the EBA help file:
Array dimensions must be a constant or resolve to a constant. For dynamic arrays see the NEW statement. A colon ':' may be used as a shortcut to the AS keyword. DIM is a synonym for DEF and the two can be used interchangeably.

OK - that is solved - now for the next: Does anyone use byte packing
in structures ie: TYPE abc,1
I can find little to no value to it in the new compiler - it produces
llvm .ll output.
Actually had a couple of very good days. Hands are working.

I've never actually used it myself, but would use it if I picked up an example using it. Seems to be in the Sapero or PT domain!
Although I think the option should be there to include a packing value, if needed

Nice to see that you are up and going Larry, almost can't wait to see the finished product.
Never used TYPE myself yet, but I agree with Brian it would be nice to have the possibility to use it.
Good Luck1

I found it in std.inc

I know I haven't used the 'Type abc,1'. Of course, I also don't know why it might be required.
