Incompatibilities

• Increment/decrement on object-members affects the member and NOT the base variable. I did not change this just to be annoying… it also has to do with the uselessness of the construct as it was in AmigaE versus how much more useful it has now become :) And I’ve never seen any source that actually depends on this feature.

  examples:

   object.member++      -> "member" is incremented.
   object[x].y.z--      -> "z" is decremented.
   bla.x[]--            -> "x" is decremented.
  

  • The Int() function of ECX returns a 32bit sign extended 16bit value rather than unsigned as EC does. The new Word() function does what old Int() did.
  • Local STRINGs allocated on the stack are NOT allowed to be linked with Link() function.
  • When receiving multiple return values, ECX only allows receiving into simple variables. EC/CreativE allows first of multiple return values to go into a dereferenced variable.

Unsupported stuff

• ”^” operator (use Long() or [] instead).
• Lisp cells. Never found a use for them and never under six years heard anyone wanted it implemented so it is gone.
