Errors

If the compiler in Ultra Fractal determines a syntax error or a type error in a formula file, it halts and an error message is displayed. You should correct the error and recompile the formula.

Here is a list of all possible errors to assist you in correcting the problem that caused the error message:

• $ELSE after $ELSE is not allowed
• $ELSE without $IFDEF is not allowed
• $ENDIF expected after $IFDEF
• $ENDIF without $IFDEF is not allowed
• ')' expected
• ',' or end of line expected
• ']' expected
• '|' expected
• '=' expected
• Argument type expected
• Call to non-const global function not allowed here
• Cannot cast this expression
• Cannot find class declaration
• Circular inheritance is not allowed
• Circular parameter usage is not allowed
• Constant expression expected
• Declaration not allowed here
• Duplicate function declaration
• Duplicate variable declaration
• Dynamic array variable expected
• ELSE before IF is not allowed
• ELSE or ELSEIF after ELSE is not allowed
• ELSEIF before IF is not allowed
• ENDFUNC before FUNC is not allowed
• ENDFUNC expected after FUNC
• ENDHEADING before HEADING is not allowed
• ENDHEADING expected after HEADING
• ENDIF before IF is not allowed
• ENDIF expected after IF
• ENDPARAM before PARAM is not allowed
• ENDPARAM expected after PARAM
• ENDWHILE before WHILE is not allowed
• ENDWHILE expected after WHILE
• Enumerated parameter expected
• Expression expected
• Field or method declaration expected
• Field or method is not accessible
• Field or method name expected
• Function expected
• Global variables are read-only here
• Identifier expected
• Illegal assignment for const function
• Imported file not found in search paths
• Incompatible types
• Initial label expected
• Invalid array reference
• Invalid character encountered
• Invalid compiler directive
• Invalid complex literal format
• Invalid constructor declaration
• Invalid function
• Invalid label encountered
• Invalid method override
• Invalid number of function arguments
• Invalid parameter
• Invalid predefined symbol
• Invalid setting
• Invalid value for this enumerated parameter
• Keyword not allowed here
• Label only consisting of a colon is not allowed
• Label or '}' expected
• Literal expected
• Literal out of range
• MIN value is larger than MAX value
• Nesting of FUNC is not allowed
• Nesting of HEADING is not allowed
• Nesting of PARAM is not allowed
• Operator expected
• PARAM expected after type keyword
• Parameters are not allowed here
• Parameters are read-only in global sections
• Parameters are read-only inside functions
• Predefined symbol is not readable
• Predefined symbol is not writeable
• Return expression expected
• Return expression not allowed
• RETURN not allowed outside function
• Setting identifier expected
• Static or inherited method expected
• String value expected
• Syntax error in literal number
• This expression cannot be assigned to
• Unterminated string (" expected)
• UNTIL before REPEAT is not allowed
• UNTIL expected after REPEAT
• Variable expected
• Variable must be declared first

There are also several run-time errors that can occur when a formula is executed. Some of these can only occur if the DEBUG symbol is defined. The run-time errors report invalid conditions that could not be detected at compile time:

• Arrays are not compatible
• Array index out of bounds
• Null object reference access
• Out of memory
• Stack overflow
• Storage exceeds available memory
