HI It looks to me that the ANY command/function is reusing a global variable of some type or if there is an optimizing stage it is reusing the "register" whether in the bytecode interpreter instructions or the bytecode interpreter per se.
The larger the number the items reach a limit which I would suggest is a register overflowing. It's a best guess as this happened to me many moons ago where I found a bug in the Pcode interpreter of Apple ][ UCSD Pascal by disassembling the 6502 code.(when I had the time and inclination and wanted to know why my quicksort routine wasn't working) Wouldn't know where to start with livecode Then again I could be totally wrong , I cant see how a chunk expression can have a double evaluation effect - and if it was adding 0 to anything would still be zero, so that's why I suggest a register is being overwritten somehow, Lagi On 6 June 2016 at 05:34, FlexibleLearning.com <ad...@flexiblelearning.com> wrote: > This double-evaluation bug has existed since MC v4.2 (the earliest engine I > have immediately to hand). > > [snip] > on mouseUp > put "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16" into myVar > repeat 1000 > add zero to any item of myVar > end repeat > put myVar > end mouseUp > [/snip] > > Hugh Senior > FLCo > > > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
