Joe,

 

Sounds like linker finally quit with an abnormal program termination.

 

Please send the project that has this problem to support@picant.com

I've managed to isolate the code that is causing the error...

 

#include <system.h>

struct
{
   char foo[2];
}sys;

void main()
{
   char x = 1;
   sys.foo[x] = 0;
}

 

Hope this helps to fix it, and will make it into the next release.

 

When is the next release?

When is the next release?

 

The current compiler release will expire at the end of March. We'll do another release before that.

Pavel
