I have a vector2 type:

+ Code Snippet

type vec2
 x as float
 y as float
endtype

and these three functions:

+ Code Snippet

function createVector2(x as float, y as float)
    ret as vec2
    ret.x=x
    ret.y=y
endfunction ret
function multiply(x as vec2)
    x.x=x.x*5
    x.y=x.y*5
endfunction x
function printVector2(x as vec2)
    asdf$="("+Str(x.x)+","+Str(x.y)+")"
    print(asdf$)
endfunction

When I call the functions like so:

+ Code Snippet

 v as vec2
 v=createVector2(2,4)
 v=multiply(v)
 printVector2(v)

It compiles and runs fine, and displays the correct results.

However, when I nest the commands like so:

+ Code Snippet

printVector2(multiply(createVector2(2,4)))

The compiler runs for a bit, and then terminates with the error:

Quote: "Compiling: main.agc
Process terminated with status -1073741819 (0 minutes, 3 seconds)"

I'm not sure if this is a compiler error or a syntax issue, so I thought I'd ask here before sending a bug report.

This is an error with the compiler that is a known issue.

I personally don't know what causes it, but I can offer you some suggestions that may get you past the problem.

Try adding a comment line right before the line where you nest the commands and compile. If it then compiles without error you're done. If not, try the next step.

Remove the comment line you just made and place a line that assigns a random variable of your choosing a value of 1.

For instance, when I run into this problem I just add the line...
bugit = 1

Then compile.

One of those solutions usually always stops the compiler error for me. I have a number of bugit = 1 lines in my program right now.

Good Luck!
