This problem arose when I tried to use some bit manipulation functions
over pointers and get caught by an error. The very simple code below
show what I mean:
Dim pPointer As Pointer = BSet(pPointer, 2)
The evaluation of the previous line raises an error which says:
"Type mismatch: wanted Number, got Pointer instead"
However I can obtain the desired behavior by rewriting it as:
Dim pPointer As Pointer = BSet(CLong(pPointer), 2)
My request is to make the interpreter operate directly over pointers
within numeric functions or to convert Pointers to Longs transparently
whenever needed. Considering the error message, I think the
interpreter should consider the type 'Pointer' a "Number type" also.
Thank you for your dedication.
Ps: I'm using Gambas 3.5.2.
