Dear gpc-ers,

here is a question by an unskilled programmer: Upon the program

program driver0; {$I complexop.p} var a,b,c,d: scomplex; begin a.re := 1; a.im := -0.1; b := a; c := b * b; c := a + c; d := c + b * b; writeln(c.re,' ',c.im); end.

the gpc compiler reacts:

driver0.p: In main program: driver0.p:10: reference expected, value given

However if the incriminated line 10 (d := c + b * b) is commented out the program compiles and executes ok. The include file contains overloaded operations + and * for complex numbers as records. Can you tell what is wrong without looking into the (rather long) include file.

Thanks in advance, K. Veselic.
