@#StringConstant$ doesn't work

Code: Select all

#StringConstant$ = "Hello"
Debug @#StringConstant$

[COMPILER] Line 2: Constant not found: #.

I do not believe this is a bug. If you require a pointer to a constant, you have to make a variable, then assign the constant to it, then point to the variable.

Or, you can put it in data, then point to the data label address.

Unless something has changed that I missed.

25th July 2016 : Version 5.50

- Added: #StringConstant$ syntax support, to get the address of a string constant

I just found out that it worked with PB_5.50_beta1. The other beta versions unfortunately I could not test.

It does not work on windows 64 either.

This is added in PB 5.50, but has not yet been implemented.

Still does not work on PBv57 x64.

Code: Select all

#StringConstant$ = "Hello"
Debug @#StringConstant$
