[Implemented] Again on OPTION EXPLICIT
Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2005 6:22 pm
I read about many people who are asking for that, and I can only add my voice to the choir.
I can live with any other PB shortcoming (not meant to be a criticism, any language has some) and with its amazing features too
but the automatic declaration of the variable for any project of moderate complexity is really a pain in the *BEEP*.
Not only when writing the code initially, but when editing it later also.
In the last past days, while trying out PB, any time I swapped some part of code or reorganized a bunch of procedures I lost HALF of the time in moving around Protected variables and checking I haven't left some useless declaration where the variable no longer exist.
Add to this the obvious bugs when you mistype a variable, and that can be quite frustrating.
I really CANNOT use variables on the spot without declaring them and see them growing wild, losing control of them, a lot duplicated, mistyped, unused .... I feel bad only thinking of it.
I believe the PB team is working on that
viewtopic.php?t=15005
and I really hope so because this could be the only thing stopping me to use PB
Thank you for the attention (?) !
