If Gambas does not work like you think, it is not necessarily a bug.

First, a void string has never been a number.

As CInt() being unabled to understand the "&H..." syntax, I prefer that 
because it avoid many unexpected bugs that usually find with libc 
conversion functions.

I suggest you read the documentaion about CInt(), Val() and other 
conversion functions carefully.
