- Sub: RE - Bug in MPW Pascal
-
- No, you aren’t just being stupid; it is as bad as that. Your diagnosis is 100%
- correct.
-
- We were informed of this problem at the MADA meeting in Boston. I mentioned it
- on Compuserve but should have put a note here as well (certainly someone should
- have.) This is a known “bug” in the compiler which is mentioned briefly and
- cryptically in the MPW Pascal manual. The next version of the compiler will
- include a warning here, in addition to the current warning when passing a field
- as a VAR parameter.
-
- I agree completely, we should not have to worry about things like this; that’s
- what compilers are for. It seems like a perversion of the language
