Hello all!

I couldn't really describe my problem properly in the title, but I'll have a go here:

Ok, I have some functions. These functions work. The problem is that this:

works but this:

dosen't. Now that I know what the problem is a workaround is easy, but I have no idea what could cause this problem?

Has anybody seen this before? Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks,
Bruce

[EDIT]
This doesn't work either:

However that does work if the two functions inside that function call are first saved to variables.

I experienced similar problems on several occasions, on different PCs and as far as I remember with several compiler versions.
There seem to be rare parsing problems regarding nested parantheses, but I don't really know more. So I guess you'll just have to accept the workaround, that is unless somebody on this forum knows what exactly is going on.

That makes sense but I have much longer lines of nested parantheses elsewhere in the code with no problems, so it if that is the problem then there would be some inconsistency with this bug? I've got no problem using the workaround, in fact it makes the code clearer in most cases, but I would like to be able to see when this problem would occur. Any other ideas?

@Shellfish:
Flow Motion looks really good by the way, keep it up!

Thanks,
Bruce

Absolutely. I'm using DBP for about 10 years now and encountered this bug maybe 5-10 times during that time. I haven't even bothered trying to find out what exactly causes the problem since the workaround is so simple.

Thank you.

Does the compiler error out, or does it compile fine, but not run properly?
