Hi,

I have just installed Lite-C, so I'm very new to this =)

I am getting this error:


Here is the code:
Code:

---

TYPEVAR INVIsAllowed(RPGInventory* Inv,RPGItem* Item)
{
	return(Inv->AllowedItems & Item->ItemType);
}

---

AllowedItems and ItemType are both of the type "short" (defined as TYPEVAR).

I bet the problem might be the &-operator - isn't it available in Lite-C??

EDIT:
This works neither:
Code:

---

TYPEVAR INVIsAllowed(RPGInventory* Inv,RPGItem* Item)
{
	TYPEVAR tmp = Inv->AllowedItems & Item->ItemType;
	return(tmp);
}

---

The error occurs at the return-line.

After doing a quick test I get the same error.

Code:

---

typedef short TYPEVAR;

TYPEVAR test()
{
	return 1;
} 

---

However defining TYPEVAR as an int gives no error.



Code:

---

typedef int TYPEVAR;

TYPEVAR test()
{
	return 1;
}
 

---

So I would suggest that the problem lies in the compiler.

Functions return their values through the EAX register, which is 4 bytes. So a function can't return a short or a char. Shorts and chars are normally used for storing low-precision values or text, but not for number calculation.

So, you'll normally use

int INVIsAllowed(RPGInventory* Inv,RPGItem* Item)
{
return(Inv->AllowedItems & Item->ItemType);
}

However I'll implement short and char return in one of the next updates for compatibility reasons.

Now it works, thanks!

I have not used Lite-C much yet, but so far it looks very promising. I love it!
