[PreCompiler] Known bugs

[Kase]

While I was coding the Ammunation feature, I stumbled upon the following issue; in a class, I had a property which had to be used to count the instances of another class. Although it didn't work, so I had to use a hack. Let me explain; the code shows how it should have worked, but actually didn't:

Code:

class Foo
{
    const BarInstances = 30;
}

class Bar <barId (Foo::BarInstances)>
{
    // ...
}

Would be cool to have it fixed!

A few more bugs!

It looks like some errors occour if you use sizeof(m_somePropertyHere). For example:

Code:

class Foo
{
    new m_bar[128];

    private toast()
    {
    meep = 1;    

        format(m_bar, sizeof(m_bar), "%d", meep);
    }
}

That code returns these errors upon compiling:

Code:

error 001: expected token: "]", but found "-identifier-"
warning 215: expression has no effect
error 001: expected token: ";", but found "]"
error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero
fatal error 107: too many error messages on one line

Also, in the compiler output, you can't use CTRL+C to copy logs. Even though RMB -> Copy works, CTRL+C is way faster.

The instances should be declared as:

Code:

class Foo {
    public const BarInstances = 30;
};

class Bar <barId (Foo::BarInstances)> {
    // ...
};

That'll work just fine.

Fixed in LVP PreCompiler 4.3.

Fixed in the experimental LVP Pawn Editor binary.

Alright cool, thanks for your time

Instance count identifiers for classes can be longer than 32 characters, and the PreCompiler should allow that.

Instance count identifiers for classes can be longer than 32 characters, and the PreCompiler should allow that.

I've increased the limit to 64 characters in the 4.3.1 release.
