Subject: Added special-case compiler code that handles a pointer-to-array dereference.
X-Git-Tag: V2.16~257^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8189339e7d132f388fed6e5ba2265ae0ff789671;p=cc65

Added special-case compiler code that handles a pointer-to-array dereference.

The type needs to change (to array); but, the address shouldn't be changed -- it already points to the first element.
Based on a bug analysis by Daniel Serpell.
