Is this possible in some easy way?
Code: Select all
Procedure p(a=1, b=1, c=1)
ProcedureReturn a + b + c
EndProcedure
Debug p(#PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 0) ; should return 2

Code: Select all
Debug "#PB_Ignore = " + #PB_Ignore
#PB_Ignore = -65535
-65535+(-65535)+0=-131070 (not 2)

Thanks, I know; I could have used #PB_Default too
I WANT to get 2 as result!

Edit, ( I dont understand why would this function be used with #pb_any, as its value can change. Last time I remember #pb ignore was -1 in value...)
Edit2: pb any was and is -1... Until Fred decides to be otherwise.
Code: Select all
Procedure.i p(a.b=1, b.b=1, c.b=1)
ProcedureReturn a + b + c
EndProcedure
Debug p(#PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 0) ; should return 2
;ivalue.i = #PB_Ignore
;Debug #PB_Ignore
;Debug ivalue

You could also have tried #PB_Any or #PB_All to show that they don't work either
It works with the byte initialized as miso did, or with a.u=1...
For fun
Code: Select all
#PB_Ananas = 1
Procedure pizza(a, b, c)
ProcedureReturn a + b + c
EndProcedure
Debug pizza(#PB_Ananas, #PB_Ananas, 0) ; return 2

It would be cool if this worked:
Code: Select all
Macro m(a=0,b=0,c=0)
Debug a+b+c
EndMacro
m(,1) ; should give 1 (b=1)

Procedure p(a=1, b=1, c=1)
ProcedureReturn a + b + c
EndProcedure
Debug p(#PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 0) ; should return 2
why you want to get 2 as result, what is a wrong result for that operation???
What is your goal to reach?

Having optional parameters anywhere, not only at the end of the "parameter list"
