Places where automatic typecast in dereferencing doesn't work

[Parker]

I've noticed a few places where I've declared something as string * or int * or a pointer to a UDT type, and when I try to use *variable, it gives me an error. When I put *(string)variable it works though.

Anyways, these lines required the fix:

Code Select Expand

if (instr(*(string)m_pFile, "<%") = 0)
ch = *(Lexer)this.*(string)m_pFile[m_uPos];
// m_pFile is declared as the following:
// string *m_pFile;
// This line works fine:
Read(file, *m_pFile, GetFileLength(file));
If you need more to reproduce the error I can post the subroutines where the errors occurred.

Noted.  Thanks.

I've found another one, which may have been brought on by the addition of the -> operator:

Code Select Expand

*ptr = mid$(ld->*pText, start+1, (ld->uPos-start)-1);
If I write *(string)pText it works. The error message given is "no appropriate conversion exists"
