The error reporting in FB is going to hell :-P
Well, probably not, but I think there's not much to gain from upgrading to .10. Version .09 compiled everything I had very well, and .10's FBC.exe keeps returning "128" without telling me anything else. So I tracked it down to being an undeclared variable (I'm using OPTION EXPLICIT) - I wish FBC would've told me that. Took a good 15 minutes to notice. :-P
Also, when I forgot to add a DECLARE for a SUB, FBC returned "128" as well without telling me anything more. And the line numbers, when reported, are insanely wrong (line 5323? I've only got 300-some lines.)
You should fix the simple casts too (e.g., passing a SINGLE/DOUBLE to an INTEGER parameter would auto-cast, and vice-versa. We are striving for compatibility, aren't we?)
Please don't turn FB into C. I hate C. C raped my best friend. :lol:
Anyways, not to bitch. FB rules, but it seems .10 breaks more things than it fixes. Sorry for the bad news.
