RE: [bascom] An unfair bug in BASCOM 8051 V. 2.0.3.0
Hi,
The math was designed so that all 3 params must be of the same kind.
For example when you want a word calculation, the target and one of the
source variables must be of the word type.
For the different data types, different routines are used.
But probably long time ago a user wanted to assign a long with a source byte
so I added this. It is indeed not consistent.
For a newer compiler in the works, I will implement the normal qb type cast.
Best regards,
Mark Alberts
