[Gambas-user] Using shl and or in a mixed statement Causes error?

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Compiler warning, not error. I think it is a bug/false warning.
Curiously this returns true:
Print TypeOf((CInt(bDa) Shl 8)) = gb.Integer

And the warning disappears when using the old syntax (= better, in my
opinion).
