Android Question Strange For loop problem

[Arf]

a strange error just suddenly started occurring.
It seemed to start happening after I switched from debug to signed key.

For fvtref = 0 To 999
   'some code in here
Next

Error description: Regular variable followed by '=' expected.
Occurred on line: 73
For fvtref = 0 To 999
Word: .

any ideas?

What is fvtref declared as?

 

[Arf]

Dim fvtref =0 As Int

Eveything fine in legacy debug, but not when I use rapid debug - just discovered that. That for loop has been in there for a whole days worth of succesful compilations till now.

I've gone back to debug key, problem still there so seems only related to Rapid Debug

You would not normally declare variables this way.
Try...

Dim fvtref As Int

'or if needing to set initial value (not in process globals)

Dim fvtref As Int = 0

 

[Arf]

It has made no difference, error is still there :-(

Could it be some hard to detect typo? Have you tried just erasing the code and typing it again?

Post a small project showing the problem.

 

[Arf]

Troberg - No typos, it compiles fine in legacy debug, just not rapid debug.
I have attached a stripped down project.
Thanks guys.

I get it too.
Erel should have a look at it.
As a workaround use a local variable in the for / Next loop and set the global variable to local one after the loop if you need it.

 

[Arf]

OK will do. Glad it's not me going mad! Thanks Klaus.

 

[Erel]

It is indeed a bug that happens in rapid debug mode, in classes with a global variable as the for iterator.
It will be fixed.

Thanks Erel, will wait for the update, I almost thought I was also doing something wrong...
