True, but you must have wasted a chunk of time today figuring out wtf was going
on!

Well, that is quite odd given that is "just" an array after all but internally
it seems 4D is treating it is something a bit different?? It seems like an
interpreter bug to me...

hmm v12...
OK - I tracked it down.
It has to do with Listboxes
a 'normal' array works as expected, however, if the array is a listbox
column (array based - did not try a selection listbox) then the code
fails.
For some reason, when referencing the contents of a listbox column the
value in
That was with 17.2 Mac and I also tested the same code just now with 15.4 Mac
and 12.4 Mac successfully too.

Rep
what version - it might be that the issue is resolved in a newer
version (>v13) then I am working in...

Chip,
If I interpreted it correctly, I just created this code block based on your
spec. and variable naming:
ARRAY LONGINT(array1;2)
array1{1}:=4
array1{2}:=2
ARRAY LONGINT(array2;10)
C_LONGINT($i)
For ($i;1;10)
array2{$i}:=-$i
End for
C_POINTER($Return_ptr)
C_POINTER($Column1)
$Return_ptr:=
yes - an intermediate value works, I was more wondering why the
original statement will not work...
as it appears to be a perfectly valid statement.
Replacing the array element reference with a simple math formula works.
i.e.
Array{2+8-6}
give the value of element 4 (assuming there is one)
the
Does it work if you do use an intermediate value? e.g.
$value:= $Return_ptr-> {$Item}
$Result:= $Column1 ->{$value}

My bad -- the correct line of code that is failing is:
$Result:= $Column1 ->{ $Return_ptr-> {$Item} }

Gas is for washing parts
Alcohol is for drinkin'
Nitromethane is for r
Given:
-- $Return_ptr is a pointer to a longint array
--- Array has 2 elements values of (4, 2)
-- $Column1 is a pointer to a different array which has 10 elements
--- all elements are populated
-- $Item is a longint value as index to the array
-- $Result is a longint variable
