Anyone figured out scopes with inline JS functions?

Example of the problem. Same with variable scope.

Code: Select all

Procedure ddd(text.s)
  Debug text
EndProcedure

Procedure fff()
  !function test(){
  !f_ddd('1234');
  !}
  !test();
EndProcedure

fff()

Its not a scope issue, SpiderBasic does not compile procedures that are not called in SB code so your example will not work, adding a call to the function makes SB compile the proc and it calls from JS, strange behaviour!!

Code: Select all

Procedure ddd(text.s)
  Debug text
EndProcedure

Procedure fff()
  !function test(){
  !f_ddd('1234');
  !}
  !test();
EndProcedure

ddd("") ; force SB To compile!!

fff()

It's going to be a problem when people start using Cordova plugins, because even with the linker optimization bypassed and everything defined SB still uses a non-global scope and Cordova uses out of scope asynchronous callbacks.

better this one (no unneed call of ddd()):

Code: Select all

If 1 = 2
  ddd("") ; force SB To compile!!
EndIf
