Automatic procedure-tracking

Hello Fred,

It would be realy nice, if the compiler would track the procedures of a code automaticly.
So we could use procedures how ever we want in the code without any predeclarations.

That is no criticism. Only a wish.

Best regards

One-Pass-Compiling goes Multi-Pass-Compiling?! Ohh my god, compiling would be so slow then. My game needs more than 5 seconds to compile.

Back-patching?

Hey, that needs a simple tracking of procedures and no complete compiling.
Your code would compile 5.5 seconds

It could simply check when a procedure is made and then add a declare @ the top of the code.

Exactly. That should be doable !?

lets extend option explicit to declare/global! isn't that the solution?

...or write a plugin for the IDE which does the job for you... that shouldn't be hard to do...

I use such a plugin already. But plugins are not realy a solution.
This would be only a nice feature for the compiler.
Everything else is nonsense.
