Re: index expression complexity [..]

Wink-wink Charles,

It is indeed very nice to see Oxygen's error reports becoming more and more precise and intelligent and thus more helpful in isolating the bugs.

BTW how many passes (levels?) does the compiler make on the source code all in all, Basic and assembler included?

Hi Mike,

quite a few stages:

1 line prep
2 translate to intermediate code
3 translate to intermediate code with unused code removal (#compact option)
4 translation to assembler
5 assembler to machine script
6 machine script to linked executable binary JIT code
7 binary to PE exe/dll

o2 no longer has a preprocessor (#preprocess option), but uses late, in-line expansion of macros and equates. So the macro stage is woven into stages 2 and 3, so to speak.

Hi All

That is important thing , the more precise Oxygen basic the more coming users.
