#Warn error: unassigned variable, wrong location stated

[jeeswg]

The issue relates to variables created via DllCall.

When I run this code in one of my scripts. #Warn correctly states the location (line number) of vType, but incorrectly states the location (file name, no line number given) of vSize (stating a file that does not even use 'vSize'). Tested on AHK v1.1.29.01 and v1.1.30.03.

Code: Select all

#Warn

;q:: ;test #Warn
hRootKey := 0x80000001 ;HKEY_CURRENT_USER := 0x80000001
vSubKey := "Software\Microsoft\Notepad"
vFlags := 0x1 ;KEY_QUERY_VALUE := 0x1
hKey := 0
vRet := DllCall("advapi32\RegOpenKeyEx", "Ptr",hRootKey, "Str",vSubKey, "UInt",0, "UInt",vFlags, "Ptr*",hKey)

vChars := 16383
VarSetCapacity(vValueName, vChars*2+2, 0)
;vType := vSize := 0
vIndex := 0
vRet := DllCall("advapi32\RegEnumValue", "Ptr",hKey, "UInt",vIndex, "Str",vValueName, "UInt*",vChars, "Ptr",0, "UInt*",vType, "Ptr",0, "UInt*",vSize)
return

I have not been able to isolate the problem, and so can't provide a stand-alone example. But here are the 2 error messages:

Thanks for reading.

[EDIT:] If I assign vType a value, (then I don't get an error for vType and) I get an error message for vSize citing the correct location.
