I was looking at some code today, and noticed that one of my functions did not appear in the code explorer function list. Some testing revealed a typo in the 1st function, which did not cause a compile error. I'm not sure if there were any other problems. The code is several thousand lines long, but I wrote a short test program that demonstrates the issue.

This compiles OK, and both functions appear in the code explorer list.

Code:
$regfile = "m1284pdef.dat"
$crystal = 9830400
$framesize = 500
$hwstack = 500
$swstack = 500


dim x as byte
dim y as byte
dim z as byte


declare function testone() as string
declare function testtwo() as string



  do

       x = testone()
       y = testtwo()



  loop


  '*************************************************
  function testone() as string

      if z =1 then
        'do nothing

      end if

  end function

 '****************************************************
  function testtwo() as string
      if z= 2 then
        'do nothing

      end if

  end function


On the other hand, this typo does compile OK also, BUT the second function is now missing from the code explorer list. There are several output changes also which led me to finding the typo.

Code:

$regfile = "m1284pdef.dat"
$crystal = 9830400
$framesize = 500
$hwstack = 500
$swstack = 500


dim x as byte
dim y as byte
dim z as byte


declare function testone() as string
declare function testtwo() as string



  do

       x = testone()
       y = testtwo()



  loop


  '*************************************************
  function testone() as string

      if z =1 then
        'do nothing

      endif       'THIS IS THE TYPO THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE

  end function

 '****************************************************
  function testtwo() as string
      if z= 2 then
        'do nothing

      end if

  end function

you best use the Code Explorer to check your code.

you probably did not read what was written about Code Explorer : it uses a different new parser to check code. it is independent of the compiler. (at the moment of writing).
the compiler is forgiving : it will assume things, but that is not convenient in all cases.
in case of endif it will change that during compiling into end if.

when you turn on 'format code' the 'endif' will be changed to 'end if' automatic.

your function return a string. the compiler will happy transform that to a byte you assign, but it is not really good practice.

#endif remains as it is. and is something totally different.

Thanks Mark. that has been a big help. I DID read the forum discussions on errors in code explorer but errors was turned off and I hadn't got into the habit of looking.
It has enabled me to find a number of error such as a couple of "exit sub" inside a function, and declaring a string var in a function decl, then using a byte var inside the function !!.
These were not picked up by the assembler.
However I have one error in code explorer which has me beat, and I attach the relevant code here:
Code:

End Function


 '******************************************************
 


The code explorer complains about the declaration arrowed, and says "parameter not same as declared .... line 382 posn 30." This is the ONLY error that code explorer finds, and the program compiles and runs correctly. There are 15 other functions all with the same pi_ prefix to the name, but changing the name (or the parameter) to something else doesn't remove the error./quote]

What happens if the byval is added to the function itself?

ahhhhhh that made the problem go away. If I could, I'd buy you a beer. Thanks MWS.
