PureBasic 5.41 LTS Beta 1
It's not possible to use a default value for string pseudotype parameters except numerical ones.

Code: Select all

Prototype foo( txt.p-ascii = #Null$ )  ; <-- syntax error
Prototype foo( txt.p-ascii = #Empty$ ) ; <-- syntax error
Prototype foo( txt.p-ascii = "" )      ; <-- syntax error
Prototype foo( txt.p-ascii = @"" )     ; <-- syntax error
Prototype foo( txt.p-ascii = 0 )       ; <-- no error

it's not supported.

Thanks for moving the thread to "Feature Requests and Wishlists".

Although not officially supported, the following code currently seems to be working correctly.

Code: Select all

Prototype foo( txt.p-ascii = 0 )

The code is just like having a #Null$ default value.
This at least sometimes fits my needs.
But is it safe to be used that way?

Yes, should be safe.
