Re: :-) ARRAYS BUG - Gpc

22 Jun 1997


      According to Bernhard Tschirren:
...
This is the -best- bug that I have ever found! :-) Take a look at the code
below...
Program
    FunnyBug;
Type
    PArray = ^TArray;
    TArray = Array[0..255] Of Integer;
Var
    I : Integer;
    A : PArray;
Begin
    New(A);
    For I := 0 To 255 Do
        Begin
            A^[I]   := 10;
            A^[(I)] := 10;  { :-) }
        End;
    Dispose(A);
End.
Hehehe. I LOVE GPC's parser...
Good Luck
Where is the bug???  My version of GPC compiles it.
In case you think that `A^[(I)]' would be illegal:  It isn't.  :-)
`(I)' is an expression in parentheses which means the same as just `I'.
