Suggestion for UTF Warning

[CalamityJames]

I suggest that for Purebasic 5.5 on that a warning should be given if a non-UTF program is opened. Such a feature would have saved me half an hour today when I forgot which version of PB I was using and a function using an external program stopped working. It might well save more half hours in the future!

Prepend a warning to your code

Code: Select all

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Unicode = 0
  CompilerError "This app requires #PB_Compiler_Unicode = 1."
CompilerEndIf

Sadly, it doesn't work in PB 5.5. It did work in 5.42 when I turned unicode off, but no error was thrown up in 5.5 (unicode obviously can't be turned off there).

What do you mean with "non-UTF program"?

[CalamityJames]

Good Point. I mean non-unicode.

I see.
Yes, I agree that such a warning would be very helpful.
