Bug or Feature?

[LCD]

Hi Boriel, I ran into following Problem:

Code:

print at 17,0;(peek 3)*9

gives me back 247. Why is this a Problem? PEEK 3 is 255, so (PEEK 3)*9 should be calculated as 255*9=2295, so it looks like the result of this calculation is stored in UBYTE. No problem because PEEK gives back UBYTE, but a multiplication is a little bit more problematic.

Code:

dim c1 as uinteger c1=peek(adr) print c1*9

Works, but

Code:

dim c1 as ubyte c1=peek(adr) print c1*9

does not work. The same if I use such a calculation as Parameter for a sub.
Any chance to fix this?

Another Problem:

Code:

print at 17,0;1<<3+2

Usually bit shifting should have the highest poriority, not the addition, thats why the result is 1<<(3+2)=32, but it should be (1<<3)+2=10.
