Bug found in 'variable$("bla") = PRINT_SOMETHING$()'

[rikky]

Hello again,
I'm using a Fossil from about 3 days ago.

Following program works, as expected:

DECLARE variable$ ASSOC STRING

FUNCTION PRINT_SOMETHING$()

   RETURN "something"
   
END FUNCTION

A$ = PRINT_SOMETHING$()

variable$("bla") = A$

PRINT variable$("bla")
But the next program, doesn't, while it used to work a few versions ago:

DECLARE variable$ ASSOC STRING

FUNCTION PRINT_SOMETHING$()

  RETURN "something"
   
END FUNCTION

variable$("bla") = PRINT_SOMETHING$()

PRINT variable$("bla")
The result is:

/home/pi/test.bac:13:1: error: '__b2c__PRINT_SOMETHING__b2c__string_var_tmp' undeclared (first use in this function)
 Rik.

Thanks Rik,

You're right, this is a regression starting from 3.9.2 where new functionality was introduced - assign assoc arrays directly to each other.

The fix already is available in fossil.

Thanks again,
Peter
