Can I no longer use "c" as a variable? <Function: c>?

Suddenly my game crashes with “Attempt to use a non-numeric array index not allowed.”

My variable is:

c Integer val:24 (&h18)

But when I type ? c I get <Function: c>

What is that?

If you keep changing how BrightScript behaves you’re going to break channels!

This is a HUGE pain the behind! I have hundreds of uses of c as a variable. I know I can’t use m as a variable, but many many functions I’ve set up with a = “such and such”, b = “this and that”, c = “another thing”, etc. I’m forced to search through a huge codebase to try to find them all!

Hmm… I just sideloaded something on my Ultra 4800 that’s on 10.5.0 build 4201, broke, and typed “?c” and got

Brightscript Debugger> ?c
Warning: operation may not be interruptible.
<UNINITIALIZED>

I don’t recall seeing that warning before, but I can use ‘c’. One would hope Roku isn’t using one letter functions in some library, but it doesn’t appear to be something like ‘m’.

I feel REALLY dumb - it was my fault! I found where I had typo’d and replaced the name a function with “c”, thus creating the whole problem. Thanks for your reply anyway!

Been there, done that! :smileyhappy:
