Bug ID: 151005
Summary: With VBASupport 1 arguments should be treated as
ByValue by default (not as ByRef)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: BASIC
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This ticket is a spinoff from bug 150727.
LibreOffice's Basic implementation assumes that arguments are defined as ByRef
(see [1]). So in LO the code below prints "Y" as a result, which is correct.
Sub Test()
Dim a As String
a = "X"
DummySub (a)
MsgBox (a)
End Sub
Sub DummySub(val As String)
val = "Y"
End Sub
[1] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03090409.html
However, in MS VBA, arguments are passed as ByValue by default, hence the code
above using Option VBASupport 1 should print "X" in LibreOffice, but we still
get "Y" as a result.
If you run the code above in MSO you'll get an "X" as result.
