--- Comment #4 from Joshua Coppersmith <[email protected]> --- Looking at the following Sub StartUp1() Dim Passed(1 To 2) As Variant FuncBug1(Passed) End Sub Function FuncBug1(Passed() As Variant) Dim LocalDimmed(1 To 2) As Variant 'LocalDimmed(1, 1) = 42 'Will not compile for a locally Dimmed array Passed(1, 1) = 42 'Compiles and works, ignoring 2nd index MsgBox Passed(1, 1, 404, "Hi, how are you?") 'Shows 42 End Function we see--as a fun side note--that passed arrays may not even generate a runtime error with mismatched dimensions. This is harmless because when accessed with too many indices the code works, but when accessed with too few indices the runtime generates an 'Index out of defined range' error. Quirkiness aside, this leads to the question: Should an array passed to a function even be checked for dimension count at all at compile time if that makes no claims about operation at runtime? I get that the scoping issue would still exist for locally Dimmed arrays, but I am just wondering about the philosophy of issuing compile-time errors on things that can't really be checked statically anyway. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
