Hallo
The following piece of code gave me a hard time
global constant CBEM_DELETEITEM = CB_DELETESTRING global constant CB_DELETESTRING = #0144
it's just a piece of a bigger includefile for the win32api
it produces the following error
Fatal run-time error: first argument of match_from() must be a sequence Press Enter...
That's with Eu4.0.4 and yes, it's not really helpfull...
Maybe there is a way to get a better error description.
Thank you Andreas

Yes, the message is unhelpful. That's because there's a bug.
If we agree that it shouldn't be forward referencing here then its displaying the wrong message. It should be saying something more like ...
<0074>:: Errors resolving the following references:
'CB_DELETESTRING' ( ... ) has not been declared.
However, if it should be forward referencing here, then there should be no message.
I'm thinking that forward referencing here should be permitted because if we replace the offending lines with this, everything works ...
global constant CBEM_DELETEITEM = cb_delete_code() global constant CB_DELETESTRING = cb_delete_code() function cb_delete_code() return #0144 end function

This one make me really nervous
global constant CBEM_DELETEITEM = CB_DELETESTRING global constant CB_DELETESTRING = #0144 printf(1,sprintf("%x", CBEM_DELETEITEM)&"\n") printf(1,sprintf("%x",CB_DELETESTRING) &"\n")
results in this output (no error) with
C:\euDesigner\tindemo>c:\euDesigner\eu4\bin\eui.exe crashtest.exw 0 144

Also i had the same Interpreter dying with Signal 5 using the complete include file. But i can't reproduce it with only a few lines.
