Claus DIETRICH reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

Const Declaration of Type Float leads to Crash with Allocation of negativ Integer Values

Type             : Bug
Priority         : High
Gambas version   : Unknown
Product          : Unknown


Description
-----------

This bug report is provided in on behalf of Robert - a member of the German Gambas Club.
The attached demo app demonstrates a critical bug. It crashes immediately after starting and I found that following const declaration in Class1 (used for global constants/ variables) is causing it:

Static Public Const conSimulationKTempMin As Float = -40

After I changed the declaration to 

Static Public Const conSimulationKTempMin As Float = -40.0

the app works normal/ without crashing. I found that any negative integer value is causing a crash and it also happens when using following line as declaration in a module or a form:

Public Const conSimulationKTempMin As Float = -40

Best regards
Claus
