Alloc(..) Access

[Guest JoeB]

Hi,

 

I cannot access data pointed to by a pointer returned by alloc using [] opperators, only *p =

 

Is this a bug or another 'by design' undocumented 'feature' of the compiler, the same as only being able to access ROM variables using [] ???

 

 

For example:

 

char* p = 0;

 

p = (char*) alloc (2);

 

p[0] = 'a'; // compiles, but doesn't work

p[1] = 'b'; // compiles, but doesn't work

 

*(p+0) = 'a'; // works

*(p+1) = 'b'; // works

Alloc returns a general pointer that doesn't differ from other pointers (except rom of course). You should be able to use in the same way as other pointers.

I wasn't able to reproduce the bug you describe. You code works for me without any errors.
