PB5.20b1 - SortStructuredArray throws an error

SortStructuredArray(PeriodsUsage(), #PB_Sort_Descending, OffsetOf(PeriodStats\PeriodCount), #PB_Sort_Long)
The compiler stops with constant not found error: #PB_Sort_Long and the autocomplete funtion of the IDE only suggests #PB_Sort_Long as #PB_Sort_ type. Perhaps something has changed here?

The 'Sort' types now match the variable types. So #PB_Sort_Long would be replaced by #PB_Long.
@Edit: corrected a silly typo.

This has already changed in PB 5.10

Maybe, but the source compiles with 5.11 without errors...

In newer PB versions, it's not necessary at all to use those type constants.
TypeOf() does the job.
Actually, normally I'm using a macro like this:
Code: Select all
Macro SortStructuredArraySimple (_ArrayName_, _Options_, _Structure_Field_)
SortStructuredArray(_ArrayName_, _Options_, OffsetOf(_Structure_Field_), TypeOf(_Structure_Field_))
EndMacro
SortStructuredArraySimple(PeriodsUsage(), #PB_Sort_Descending, PeriodStats\PeriodCount)
This macro also shows how calling the built-in PB functions
SortStructuredArray() and
SortStructuredList() could be simplified.
