Hi All,
I would not be opposed to '\', but I do like '::' for modules.
It is clear at a glance that I am looking at a module call and not a structure.
Also, to me it makes sense to use '::', as it reminds me of a namespace, which is somewhat how I see a module.
All that said, thank you for not using '_'.
I often use '_' in my naming, so for me, '_' would become an issue of breaking old habits.
Thanks again Fred and team for modules, I have been reorganizing my current project into modules, and so far I am very pleased with the implementation.
Regards,
David

we could have used Alt+0135 ---->
‡
(ALT key presses on
and the number 0135 )
it's more of a button press, but the caracter is alone and recognizable
I do not have the latest version of PureBasic
but I fear that "::" asks me problems with my Personal Editor (EPB)
because I use ':' to identify the lines separator ....

Some people are unhappy with the '\', some are unhappy with '::', and some are unhappy with '_'
I suggest we use the 'happy face', which should make everyone happy!!
For example:
ModuleName
ProcedureName

No. You can replace it with N™ ("nick the module" ).

i meant to use at the top of the file:
Code: Select all
using modA
using modB
using modAlias = modC
and the compiler disables it at the end of the file so no endusing is necessary.

The problem is, that C# is truly file-based whereas PureBasic
treats the source code as one huge file, so an end directive is required.
C# for example doesn't even allow source code to be included into a file.

Hm,
Structure / EndStructure
With / EndWith
If / EndIf
Procedure / EndProcedure
UseModule /
EndUsing?
If UseModule (or however it will be called) needs and end-command, shouldn't it be named the same way other PB commands have been designed?
PS: don't forget to update the IDE (indentation, goto matching keyword etc.)

It's not 'EndUseModule' because it's not like If/EndIf and such, you don't have to pair it (you won't use UnuseModule that often).
