Harbour warning

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Dear friends, how do you compile the following sample using Harbour?

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oDlg

    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg;
             ON INIT MSGINFO( "Hello" );
             CENTER

    RETURN NIL

I get:

Code: Select all  Expand view

test.prg(12) Warning W0004  Codeblock parameter 'SELF' declared but not used
in function 'MAIN'

and I cannot found a way to disable that warning (with xHarbour you can use /wb-).

Enrico,

In Windows.ch you will see:

<oWnd>:bInit [ := \{ | Self | <uInit> \} ],;

But in Dialog.ch INIT is processed like this:

[ ! <.NonModal.> ], [{|Self|<uInit>}],;

I understand that dialogs can be nonmodal and windows can't so there has to be a difference, but perhaps there is a syntax error in the preprosser code.

I have never tried a dialog with an INIT clause, and I don't use Harbour so I can't test it.

Have you tried instead:

oDlg:bInit:= {|| MSGINFO( "Hello" )}

Or:

oDlg:bInit:= { | oDlg | msgInfo("Hello")}


Regards,
James

James, this is only a sample. There are tons of other similar warnings when I compile my code using Harbour. The problem would be solved in my code if I used Self in the ON INIT clause but I don't always need Self and I don't want to be forced to use all the codeblock parameters.

I got rid of theses warnings by using bInit codeblock

Code: Select all  Expand view

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg
oDlg:binit := { || whatever_you_need }
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg

Then, I would suggest trying to find a fix by modifying the dialog.ch file using the windows.ch file as a reference.

Enrico,

I have asked it in the Harbour devel list, so lets wait for an answer

Thank you, Master!

Enrico,

See what Viktor says:

"No, the closest is -w2."

[nageswaragunupudi]

In both Harbour and xHarbour setting warning level to 2 ( -w2 ) generates warnings for variables declared but not used.

Again both in Harbour and xHarbour setting warning level to 1 ( -w1 ) does not generate these warnings.

So, normally I use -w1 and use -w2 occasionally for the purpose of removing unwanted declarations in the code.

I find both Harbour and xHarbour behaving the same way. Am I missing something?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Enrico,

See what Viktor says:

"No, the closest is -w2."

With -w2 I still get the unused parameter warnings. Only using -w (or the equivalent -w1) I don't the the warnings.

xHarbour offers -wb- to disable unused codeblock parameters warning.

As I'm not willing to reduce my level of warnings, I simply can't use Harbour.

Enrico,

You could compile first with xHarbour and then recompile with Harbour. A weird solution but it is a solution

Thank you Master! For a while, it can be an acceptable solution, in order to try Harbour.

But please, can you insist with the Harbour developers if they could add something like xHarbour's /wb-?
