Bug? IDE parsing HEX

[peacemaker]

Sub Process_Globals
    Public Serial1 As Serial
    Dim bc As ByteConverter
End Sub

Private Sub AppStart
    Serial1.Initialize(115200)
    Delay(2000)
    Log(CRLF, "AppStart")
    BugTest
End Sub

Sub BugTest
    Dim i As ULong
    For i = 0x1FFFFFF To 0xFFFFFFFF - 1
        Log(bc.HexFromBytes(bc.ULongsToBytes(Array As ULong(i))))
    Next
End Sub

Works ?

Or

Sub BugTest
    Dim i As ULong
    For i = 0 To 0xFFFFFFFF - 1
        Log(bc.HexFromBytes(bc.ULongsToBytes(Array As ULong(i))))
    Next
End Sub

Where is the question/bug? the code works or not?

Works ?

This is a question. IMHO, IDE sometimes wrongly parse HEX strings (here detailed).

As Erel replied in that post, there's room for improvement, so I guess it will be improved in the next update!

It looks like another bug here, the Erel's sample code works OK, but did you try this one ?

 

[Cableguy]

I don't know enough about bit banging and hex numbers to even know what I am looking at!

 

[peacemaker]

It's just a loop, but with hex counter.

 

[Cableguy]

Well, I would say that you are trying to subtract an integer from a Ulong here For i = 0x1FFFFFF To 0xFFFFFFFF - 1
What if you tried For i = 0x1FFFFFF To 0xFFFFFFFF - 0x000001?

Try

Sub BugTest
    Dim i As ULong
    For i = 0 To 0xFFFFFFFF - 1
        Log(bc.HexFromBytes(bc.ULongsToBytes(Array As ULong(i))))
    Next
End Sub
