Bug Report List: build 141
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention with regards to the above - if I do the same using other variable types (e.g. int), everything works fine no matter how I initialize the variable.
Hi,
Here's a nice bit of code that makes the platform crash...
int init() {
Print("Starting");
return(0);
}
int deinit() {}
int start() {}
I know you're not supposed to do a return during init() but this can be useful when debugging.... However, any 'return' during an init() appears to make the platform crash.

Ahhh - silly me - init(), deinit() and start() all require a 'return'! The above problem seems to happen when start() hasn't got any code, including a return.
Hi,
I'm getting constant MT crashes when I attempt to run the following code. Anyone got any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Hi MetaQuotes,
I think I may have spotted a documentation fault on your website. Under the section "PreProcessor" the follow is documented:
"Functions are imported from MQL4 compiled modules (*.ex4 files) and from operating system modules (*.dll files). In the latter case, the imported functions are also declared. A new #import command (it can be without parameters) finishes the description of imported functions".
As far as I can work out, BOTH types of import (MQL4 and .dll) files require function declarations in an 'include file'. I tried it without a declaration but the compiler starts making noises about "function not found" etc.

There still seems to be a problem with the 'extern string' side of things. It appears that if the string is initialized using either:
extern string stuff;
or extern string stuff = "";
the user input screen will allow you to input a string but 'stuff' will not be assigned to the value that is input and a "not initialized string" error is generated. If the string is initialized using:
extern string stuff = "some default stringy thingy";
everything works fine
