Bug?

[john27 0]

This simple code generates the error below. This happens in ver 6.95 and 6.81.

What am I missing?

 

 

 

 

//Autocorr5.c

// PIC18F2321

#include <system.h>

 

unsigned long sum(void);

unsigned long period;

 

void main()

{

period = sum();

}

 

unsigned long sum(void) //this is line 13 with the "error"

{

char jj;

unsigned long P;

P=1;

jj=2;

P=P+jj;

return (P);

}

'P' is already defined in the PIC18F2321.h file and therefore your 'P' is being substituted by a hex value.

 

Rename your variable and try again.

 

BoostC errors can be confusing at times.

Wow -I didn't think to look there!

 

I'm glad I gave up and posted after only wasting 3 hours on the problem.

 

Thanks, Reynard!

...BoostC errors can be confusing at times....

 

We have modified compiler to provide better error reporting for cases like this. This update will be available in the next release.
