[Gambas-user] Returning an integer from an external function broken? Gambas 2.1.0 and 2.2.0

[Audiossis]

Hi all,
        Sorry to report that in Gambas 2.1.0 and 2.2.0 (Fedora 7),
returning an 
integer from an external function appears to be broken.

I updated from Gambas 2.0.0 where my code (see below) worked fine, to
Gambas 
2.1.0 where it no longer works, and then subsequently to Gambas 2.2.0
where 
it still doesn't work.

Snippet......




PUBLIC rInit AS Integer
LIBRARY "libusb-0.1"

PRIVATE EXTERN usb_init() AS Integer

PUBLIC FUNCTION init()
  
  rInit = usb_init()
  
END





In versions previous to Gambas 2.1.0 the external function returns an
integer 
to the rInit variable, letting me know of the success or failure of the 
libusb init routine.

In Gambas 2.1.0 and above, this code returns the error "Type mismatch:
Wanted 
Integer, got Function instead."

This error is not related to the particular function being called and
happens 
with ALL external functions I am calling from the libusb library. I
even 
regressed back to Gambas 2.0.0 just to verify that I hadn't
accidentally 
screwed up my code and sure enough the program started working again.

Is this a bug with the new version? or has the syntax for returning an 
integer/string/variant from an external function changed?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Ben
