IS 6.3.0-dev: Pos function - Type mismatch

[Alex Born]

Hi!

On Inno Setup 6.2.2 and below, the example script provided can be compiled and tested.

But on Inno Setup 6.3.0-dev it does not compile.

Error in POS function - “Type mismatch”.

What has changed after Inno Setup 6.2.2? Why the error?

Example script:

Hi all.

Change this line:
          if not IsStringType(Tmp.ExpectedType.BaseType) then
from:
https://github.com/remobjects/pascalscript/blob/fa5fcb67e77eeca980eeb944a66c7d5e4ceff165/Source/uPSCompiler.pas#L9581
to:
          if not IsStringOrCharType(Tmp.ExpectedType.BaseType) then

This build does not have this bug:
https://github.com/Wilenty/InnoSetup-with-latest-LZMA/releases/tag/v6.3.0-betafLZMA2406sc

By the way, I attach simplest example of this bug with explanation what should be changed (same as above).

Greetings,
Wilenty

Hi,

In 6.2.2 and older you could write strange things like Pos(1, 2) without a compile-time error.

Pos and other functions use AnyString parameters and I added a missing type check for those, but my check only allowed strings and not chars so that why you got an error, sorry.

I've fixed this in Git and will upload a new build later.

Thanks for reporting.

Greetings,
Martijn

I've uploaded the new build, please try it:

https://files.jrsoftware.org/is/dev/innosetup-6.3.0-dev.exe

Compared to the previous build this comes with two extra Compiler IDE features I personally find quite exciting:

• Added multiple selection support (Ctrl+Click or Ctrl+Drag).
  Typing, backspace, delete, undo, redo, copy, and paste all work with multiple selections added this way or via the pre-existing support for performing rectangular block selection (Alt+Shift+Arrow or Alt+Drag).
  Also added a shortcut to revert multiple selections into a single one or a single selection into an empty one (Esc).
• Added new Highlight occurrences of current selection and Highlight occurrences of current word options.
  The first is enabled by default and the second is disabled by default.

I expect to make an official release soon now, so I appreciate it very much if you let me know asap when you (or anyone else) find more problems.

Greetings,
