The shown code will result in a "AddOne() called with Const or expression on ByRef-param(s)" error. The two other arrangements of the same code will not result in this error, and if you disable Au3Check entirely, the code will run fine. So its an Au3Check-only problem, AutoIt itself is fine with it.

I have 3.3.16.1 installed and this is not fixed, AU3Check still errors:

Func foo(ByRef $bar)
EndFunc

; Works
Global $map1[]
$map1["test"] = 0
foo($map1["test"])

; Errors
Global $map2[]
$map2.test = 0
foo($map2.test) ; <-- error: foo() called with Const or expression on ByRef-param(s).

Did the fix not make it into 3.3.16.1 for some reason? It's also not mentioned in the changelog.

Correct... that TAG is wrong and the fix will be in the next Beta/Prod versions as 3.3.16.1 is just a fix release for some AutoIt3 issues

You could use the current Alpha version I posted here till either a new Beta or Prod version of AutoIt3 is published: ​​https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/download/beta_SciTE4AutoIt3/Au3Check.exe
