Enrico, Why are you using a PRIVATE? I haven't used PRIVATEs for years. You can do the same thing you wanted this way: FUNCTION MAIN()    LOCALE cName:=""    cName:= CREATEVAR( cName, "Hello" )    ? cName // it exists ...

... DECLARE: FIELD, LOCAL, MEMVAR, PRIVATE (I don't use it much) I prefer MEMVAR in Combination with PRIVATE, of course, I don't make excessive use of PRIVATES and PUBLIC, I use it only in exceptional cases. The only one that I'm not used to using, because I don't understand how it works, is GLOBAL. ...

... in any PRG you run? You mixed like different concepts Explain me please. Static variables are visible only within prg where they are declared The privates are visible from the moment they are declared onwards to their execution The publics are visible throughout the program Locals only within ...

... lo que más te guste o más práctico sea para ti. En nuestro querido y viejo clipper había unos límites fáciles de alcanzar de variables públics y privates en la TABLA DE SÍMBOLOS, pero esa limitación ya no existe en Harbour. Personalmente por inercia tampoco las utilizo, pero me reitero sólo por ...

Tim, First you don't ever HAVE to use Privates. I haven't used them in 15 or 20 years. There is always a another way. Privates are always going to be a source of hard to find and seemly random errors. So if I understand this correctly, you have ...

... are used in many other objects. Encapsulation: This object looks up it's own data (and saves it too) in the customer table. No PUBLICS or PRIVATES are used. To instanitate this object all you need one line of code and the CustNo. oCustomer:= TCustomer():New(cCustNo) That's it! Now you ...

... There are programs that will override this behavior. I would change "PRIVATE oMail" to "LOCAL oMail" in your code. I never use PRIVATES or PUBLICS--too many issues. It forces you to encapsulate so you eliminate many hard to find bugs. Regards, James

... puro, donde los simbolos y variable se reemplazan por su dirección en tiempo de compilación. De la misma forma que no existen PUBLICs ni PRIVATEs, me temo que eso no sería viable. Desconozco que problema quieres resolver con una macro, tal vez puedas usar metodos virtuales si estas haciendo ...

Antonio, Would you mind uploading the new version (with the LOCALs) declared to Github? As you know, unless they are declared they are PRIVATEs, so I don't want to do a lot of testing when PRIVATEs may be visible outside the RDD. I know, I could declare them myself, but then I would still ...

Carlos, May be it's not so easy. It depends on how vars are being used: a LOCAL can't replace a PRIVATE, because the scope of PRIVATEs go beyond the current function to the called ones. Fortunatelly in your case every var has it's own (weird) name, so it will be easy to find the usage ...

... the MEMVAR declarations and get warnings for all the publics. I will write some test code to try this out. Hmm, I haven't even thought about privates yet. Your thoughts? James

... nil Some time ago I was in the same situation as yours, compiling other's people code, with very 'arguably' coding style, and as PUBLICs and PRIVATEs are not very familiar to me, I had to learn how to deal with them. May be an approach to a solution can be to create a ch header with all the ...

... and for me it is very difficult to understand, so the more documentation in the code, the better. Since it is still using PUBLICs and (I think) PRIVATEs, it has the problem that it is very fragile and can easily be broken. And those kinds of bugs are very hard to track down because they are ...

... don't want automatic memvar declarations since I am trying to document all vars used in each function. This is mainly so I can look for locals and privates that may be overriding publics. As I am sure you know these situations can be nightmares producing bugs that are extremely hard to find. Since ...
