How to use Databuffers?

[EdzUpParticipant]

I use:

#Import”<std>”

Using std..

 

Global CompressBank:= New Databuffer ( 4 )

 

and it dis on the Global line with a error in the stack throwing a MAV in debug mode. Is there a special way of using them as I need the buffers for conversion work for networking?

Not MAVing here with the runnable code below.

Perhaps try initializing the Global in Main?

 

Monkey

#Import "<std>" Using std.. Global CompressBank:= New DataBuffer ( 256 ) Function Main() For Local i:=0 Until 256 CompressBank.PokeUByte( i,i ) Next For Local i:=0 Until 256 Print CompressBank.PeekUByte( i ) Next End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

#Import "<std>"   Using std..   Global CompressBank:= New DataBuffer ( 256 )   Function Main() For Local i:=0 Until 256 CompressBank.PokeUByte( i,i ) Next For Local i:=0 Until 256 Print CompressBank.PeekUByte( i ) Next   End

will try that and see what happens

Ok firstly thanks Mark for your help on this one, it turns out when importing external files with namespaces etc having Globals initialized outside of a class Method/Function causes the MAV. I moved the declaration inside the class that uses it and added the initializer (New) to the New method for that class and now it works perfectly :).

Its one of the things that MX1 used to do which I will have to unlearn as I was always initializing variables as I created them which was bad practice in some cases
