Error description
Create a pl1 program with the following source : dcl (nodePtr) pointer, 1 dataNodeType based(nodePtr), 3 areal char(100); dcl LinkListHeadPtr pointer; dcl 1 myLinkedList based(LinkListHeadPtr), 3 next ptr, 3 dataNode ptr; allocate myLinkedList; LinkListHeadPtr-?myLinkedList.next = null(); allocate dataNodeType; LinkListHeadPtr-?myLinkedList.dataNode = nodePtr; free LinkListHeadPtr-?myLinkedList.dataNode-?dataNodeType; free LinkListHeadPtr-?myLinkedList; Notice that the first 'free' statement is marked with an error while second is not. Both are valid and accepted by local syntax check and compilers. This can be reproduced with a local PLI source file.
