[Gambas-user] Error message from (at least earlier valid) pointer usage.

[Jussi Lahtinen]

This code, gives error message "wanted Stream got Long instead":

pPOINTS = Alloc(4, 1522)
tmp = CalculatePoints(pPOINTS,matrix.Data)

....

 For ii = 0 To tmp
 tmpPOINT = New POINT
 Read #pPOINTS + (ii * 4), tmpPOINT.x    <---- Fails here!
 Read #pPOINTS + (ii * 4) + 2, tmpPOINT.y
 ...

POINT class:

Public x As Short = -1
Public y As Short

There is also rather complicated "_compare" function, but I don't
think it matters with this problem.


This code worked fine with earlier Gambas 3 revisions.
Does this has anything to do with my error?
  * NEW: A Pointer can not be used as a stream directly. You must use the new
    Memory instruction for that.

New feature understandably lacks documentation, so I need help!
