Title: #pragma
Post by: on October 12, 2018, 01:01:23 PM

Apparently #pragma is ignored.

An useful use of #pragma in FreeBasic is #pragma once. It prevents a file to be included more than once even if the code does not use #include once. PowerBasic uses #INCLUDE THIS ONCE to do the same that FB's #pragma once.

I think the keywords: use/uses should serve this purpose, see:

use and uses are equivalent to include once.

#pragma once at the begining of an include file prevents that file to be included more than once even if the user uses include <file> without using "once".

Hi José,

I do not use 'include' any more - but this is a matter of taste.

BTW: maybe you have already found /inf/OxyLog.txt (history, changelog and issues) and /inf/testlog.o2bas (testcases). I think you and Mike are much more qualified to compare Oxygen's capabilities with other programming languages than users like me. Constructive criticism is always helpful. Therefore I am convinced that Charles will make the most of your ideas in the next version / versions of Oxygen, as long as this is possible and does not clash too much with his own concept.
