various argument errors attempting to use curses.bi on linux #363

I can't see a problem in the definitions for the various mvaddxxx functions and macros in ncurses.bi. decomposing the calls into equivalent move and add functions works. Example:

' attempting to do some quick curses work

include once "curses.bi"

initscr() move(0, 0) addstr("This string gets printed at position (0, 0)") mvaddstr(1, 0, "and this should be at position (1, 0)") refresh() napms(3000) endwin()

Gets an error when compiled:

Invalid data types in 'mvaddstr(1, 0, "and this should be at position (1, 0)")'

curses.bi and so on are all from the install.

fbc -showincludes curses.bas curses.bas | /usr/include/freebasic/curses.bi | | /usr/include/freebasic/curses/ncurses.bi | | | /usr/include/freebasic/crt/long.bi | | | /usr/include/freebasic/crt/stdio.bi | | | | (/usr/include/freebasic/crt/long.bi) | | | | /usr/include/freebasic/crt/stddef.bi | | | | /usr/include/freebasic/crt/stdarg.bi | | | | /usr/include/freebasic/crt/linux/stdio.bi | | | (/usr/include/freebasic/crt/stdarg.bi)

I'm stumped.

I've reduced this to a minimal testcase:

iif(0,0,0)

All the mvw* functions expand to an iif.
