I guess, no huge big deal, it's going to take some trial and error to see what old programs of mine will break. I guess I never ran into the problem in my Qbasic days.
Wait. If I do x = Val("&h" + "ffff")
Will I still get x = 65535
It will, but honestly, it probably shouldn't. LOL!
This is *ONLY* changing CONST and the internal evaluations that we do with it.
From what you've posted, it appears that VAL is probably also broken -- unless QB45 was just weird in that aspect and decided that the VAL of a hex number should always return unsigned, even if the number was stored in a signed variable.
Code: (Select All)
DIM h AS INTEGER
h = -1
PRINT VAL("&H" + HEX$(h))
Prints 65535.
Anyone got a handy version of QB45 up and running to test and see what VAL("&HFFFF") prints in it? Is it odd, or are we missing compatibility here too, like we were with CONST?

In QB45 VAL("&HFFFF") prints -1
- Dav

Code: (Select All)
DIM h AS INTEGER
h = -1
PRINT VAL("&H" + HEX$(h))QBasic Returns -1 when ran.
I know that QB45 was asked for so a little newer version tells it continued for newer than QB45. I know QBasic is an interpreter ide and don't compile source code like QB45 or QBX 7.1.

I just notice that serial communication does not work anymore:
Code: (Select All)
Open "COM4:74880,N,8,1,BIN,CS0,DS0,RB8192" For Random As #99Now recompiling with 3.10.0 (and 3.9.0) the program is aborted at this line, not responding to 'On Error' around it...
Anyone know what/when this has changed?
