LB 5 352 32 bit Win10, passing byref variable furter

[tsh73]

Then passing variable got with byRef furter with ByRef, strange thing happens.

Old Lb/JB
2.0
y=            2
10            2
single byRef Ok(?)
y=            2
x=            1.7
10.1          1.7
passing futher byRef Ok(?)



LB5 352
5.0
y=            2
10            2
single byRef Ok(?)
x=            0.7
0.1           0.7
passing futher byRef Ok(?)
1             this was non-stopping error
2             this was non-stopping error
3             this was non-stopping error
4             this was non-stopping error
5             this was non-stopping error


now, LB5 produces one line less (no second "y=")
in IDE, code
test2=y*10 is highlighted after program finished
and message visible in a statusbar
Message not understood #*
So it looks like this is an error?

But obviously, execution goes along - results of second
print z, a is there, and I added printing loop - it just got executed.
Is there some sort of "soft", non-breaking error in LB5?

'passing byRef argument further byRef
'LB5 produces one line less and error(?non-stopping error?)

print Version$
a=1
z=test2(a)  'single byRef
print z, a
print "single byRef Ok(?)"

a=1
z=test(a)   'further byRef
print z, a
print "passing futher byRef Ok(?)"

for i = 1 to 5
print i,"this was non-stopping error"
next


function test(byRef x)

   test = test2(x)+0.1
   'this line works OK in LB4
   'in LB5, ends with Message not understood #* in test2()
   x=x-0.3   'change var here
   print  "x=",x
end function

function test2(byRef y)
   test2=y*10    'LB5 errors here
               'Message not understood #*
   y=y+1   'change var here
   print "y=",y
end function

Then passing variable got with byRef furter with ByRef, strange thing happens.

Turns out there are at least two bugs here. Fixed one, and working on the second.

Okay, the second byref bug is now also fixed.  The output is now identical between v4.5.1 and v5.0 (except for the first line which is the version number).
