SciTE v 3.3.6 available in Beta for testing.

[Jos]

There is no bug here. The SciTE4AutoIt3 installer will only override au3.api and au3.keywords.properties when the existing versions are older, so there should be no issue here since this is an add-on to the AutoIt3 installer. The only time this could be an issue is when you use the zip version.

Agree?

Jos

[jaberwacky]

Sure.  I don't really know who or what.  I only knew that the function wasn't highlighted in blue.

is possible repair Byref & Array access on expression: ($aArray[1])[1]

#AutoIt3Wrapper_If_Run

Ciao.

Assume your report is about au3check in Beta seeing the below code as invalid while AutoIt3 Beta supports it....right?

#AutoIt3Wrapper_If_Run
    #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=N
#AutoIt3Wrapper_EndIf

Local $aArray[2],$aTest[2] = ["Test1","Test2"]
$aArray[1] = $aTest

_Test(($aArray[1])[1])

Func _Test(ByRef $sData)
    MsgBox(0, 1, $sData)
EndFunc

Ciao.

 

We are seriously supporting this syntax in AutoIt3 now?

Jos,

 

We are seriously supporting this syntax in AutoIt3 now?

I for one sincerely hope so. I really appreciate being able to do this:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n

#include <Constants.au3>

Global $sString = "0-1-2-3-4"
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Array Deref", StringSplit($sString, "-")[3]) ; Display the 3rd element of the split array

AU3Check generates this error in the posted example by DXRW4E:

"x:\....\test.au3"(12,25) : error: _Test() previously called with Const or expression on ByRef param(s).
Func _Test(ByRef $sData)

Do we consider this to be an invalid error by au3check and can we update the passed byref variable?

Jos

[Melba23]

Jos,

It seems that ByRef will not work - the "dereferenced" syntax appears to be "read-only":

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aArray[2],$aTest[2] = ["Test1","Test2"]
$aArray[1] = $aTest

_Test(($aArray[1])[1])
_ArrayDisplay($aTest, "ByRef")

($aArray[1])[1] = "Test 4"
_ArrayDisplay($aTest, "Indirect")

$aTest[1] = "Test 5"
_ArrayDisplay($aTest, "Direct")


Func _Test(ByRef $sData)
    $sData = "Test 3"
EndFunc

When I run that the array is only updated in the "Direct" case. But I might well have the syntax wrong - I will play with it this evening.

There is a disconnect between $aTest and $aArray[1], however I agree that the dereference syntax seems to be read only. See below:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aArray[2],$aTest[2] = ["Test1","Test2"]
$aArray[1] = $aTest

$aTest[1] = "Test 5"
_ArrayDisplay($aTest, "Direct")
$aTemp = $aArray[1] ; this should be $aTest
MsgBox(0, "Test 5?", ($aArray[1])[1] & @CRLF & $aTemp[1])

($aArray[1])[1] = "Test 6"
ConsoleWrite("read only: " & ($aArray[1])[1] & @CRLF)

wraithdu,

That actually does not surprise me. Once the $sTest array is taken inside $aArray, I would not expect it to be modified merely by amending the original array - I have always assumed that there it was a pure "copy" operation and so there was no link between the two arrays. I thought that it might be possible using the new syntax as that references $aArray directly but it seems that does not work either.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n

#include <Array.au3>

$aArray[1] = $aTest

$aTest[1] = "Test 5"
_ArrayDisplay($aTest, "Direct")
$aTemp = $aArray[1] ; this should be $aTest
MsgBox(0, "Test 5?", ($aArray[1])[1] & @CRLF & $aTemp[1])

($aArray[1])[1] = "Test 6"
ConsoleWrite("read only: " & ($aArray[1])[1] & @CRLF)

Those last two lines doesn't prove your assumption. If the line starts with "(" then it's treated as expression awaiting evaluation, meaning there will be no assigning happening:

$a = 5
($a) = 7
ConsoleWrite($a & @CRLF)

Second line evaluates to False, much like this one would:

($a = 7)

Latter example is proper stateless expression, however statelessness for the former can be argued.

[wraithdu]

Ah good point. So is there another syntax for dereferenced access then that allows assignment? Or is it really just an incomplete feature?

I found a problem with the new version.

  SciTE4AutoIt3.exe 28-Sep-2013 15:39

After installation, on WinXP SP3 32bit
Such a problem:
 

Error during execution of the program!

 

EDIT:

Problem does not occur on all workstations

But it works fine with: SciTE4AutoIt3_2013-04-06.exe

Edited October 14, 2013 by mlipok

I also detect that compiled program  with beta under WIn8 cannot run under XP.

I suspect it is the same issue.

I post under Dev forum for Jon but until now he has not answered.

Wait and see

I do not know if I understood well.

Just in case clarify.

After installation, I have a problem running SciTE.exe, rather than compiled programs.

[Jos]

Any idea what the commonality is between the WinXp machines that work and don't work?

Maybe the link is that we are now using VC11 to compile both AutoIt3 and SciTE.

Jos

[Jos]

Uploaded a new Beta version of SciTE.exe and Scilexer.dll compiled with VC10 to avoid the compatibility issue in WinXP.

Jos

[jpm]

perhaps only related to new manifest not vc10/VC11

[jpm]

Just small remarks in the latest Scite4Autoit3.exe the obfuscator.exe is older than the one in beta download
