I think I have discovered a pattern for the IDE errors generated when
you try to compile a plugin that defines constants (IDE is RB2005r4).
I am defining constants in this way:
REALconstant glConstants[] = {
{"VERSION_1_4 = 1", NULL, 0},
{"ACCUM = &h0100", NULL, 0}
};
and my module is:
REALmoduleDefinition GLModule = {
kCurrentREALControlVersion,
"GL", // name of module
NULL, // list of methods
0, // number of methods
glConstants, // list of constants
sizeof(glConstants) / sizeof(REALconstant), // number of constants
};
IDE gives a "Cannot compile a constant with no name" error for every
constant that begins with a number, for example:
{"2_BYTES = &h1407", NULL, 0},
{"3_BYTES = &h1408", NULL, 0},
{"4_BYTES = &h1409", NULL, 0},
For reserved RB words, for example:
{"TRUE = 1", NULL, 0},
{"FALSE = 0", NULL, 0},
{"RETURN = &h0102", NULL, 0},
{"SELECT = &h1C02", NULL, 0},
and so on
....the IDE gives a "Internal Error: An unhandled NilObjectException
exception has occurred. Please report this to REAL Software..." so it
seems a bug.
But the strangest thing is that not every "reserved" word seems to
generate this error, because this constant:
{"DOUBLE = &h140A", NULL, 0},
compiles without any issue.
Hope my experience can help someone.
