I'm using BricxCC 3.3.8.8-20101003
what's wrong?

The addrex function was renamed to be addressOfEx. Similarly, the addr function was renamed to be addressOf. The help files should reflect this change and if you Default your NXC API it should properly highlight the new function names (and not the old ones). It should be listed in Code Completion (Ctrl+Space) and provide Parameter Completion hints (Ctrl+Shift+Space) for these functions.

John,
I took this source directly from the NXC help. It was not clearly to see that this is meanwhile obsolete .
Maybe you wish to update the ex_ ... file?
thx,
Helmut

It would appear that I have forgotten to update the online NXC help pages. Doh! If you have installed the official release of BricxCC (3.3.8.8) then the compiled HTML help on your computer should be correct. I will update the files on the web tonight.

thank you!
BTW: what about appending a subrelease date to the exe file name
(bricxcc-3.3.8.3-20101004)
(Think I sort of read this a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... ;)
