[Tiny-cobol-users] Fixed bug with large arrays.

[Rildo P. <rpr...@ac...>]

Hi David,

Ok. I was tired of trying to make "inspect" work and decided to give a try
on your problem with large arrays. Now the size is stored with a ".long",
so instead of 65536, it allows a maximum record of 4294967296 bytes.
(according to my 'bc' calculator :)

All the "inspect" stuff in the compiler is wrong. I think I will have a
break with this thing. When I try to make according the standard, the
parser generates 41 reduce/reduce conflicts. Of course, it will not
compile correct code for most statements in this way.  Some hacking needed
here! (I'm tired of adding state swithces to the scanner)  I have looked
at Josling's parser too, but found nothing I can use straight here.

I hope you're glad with the large arrays. If so, at least something I've
done will not be thrown away today.

regards,
