Hi, I don't know if it is a bug, but while mistyping some code, I ran around this "bug", if it is one. I used an array as a function Code: var array[1];array[0] = "stuff";pustr(array[0]); // normalpustr(array(0)); // mistyping I did The device crashed. Well that does not surprise me, but I had no warning from the compiler. So I'm wondering if it is a "bug" of the compiler, or if there is some way this code could do something useful. I attached a file to easily reproduce the stuff. Thanks Attached Files: array_as_function.4dg (393 Bytes, 8 views) __________________ pierre

Thanks for that. The compiler isn't the best in the world at detecting 'odd' syntax. As you surmised the compiler would be calling array with a parameter of 0.
