Modules break EnableExplicit

[MrTAToad]

The following code breaks EnableExplicit, because it prints the value of a non-defined variable, when SpiderBasic should produce a compiler error

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit

DeclareModule Test
  Declare.b moo()
EndDeclareModule

Module Test
  Procedure.b moo()
    Debug "The value of a : "+Str(a)
  EndProcedure
EndModule

Test::moo()

[ts-soft]

Where is the EnableExplicit for the Module?

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit

DeclareModule Test
  EnableExplicit
  
  Declare.b moo()
EndDeclareModule

Module Test
  Procedure.b moo()
    Debug "The value of a : "+Str(a)
  EndProcedure
EndModule

Test::moo()

No bug!

It looks like the EnableExplicit documentation needs updating as I thought it was a totally global command

[ts-soft]

I have no spiderbasic, but from the purebasic help:

When the statements Define, EnableExplicit, EnableASM are used inside a module, they have no effect outside the respective module, and vice versa.

I thought the same - took me while to realise it's not truly global. Caused me a little bit of grief that one

[MrTAToad]

Yes - caused a few problems here too

[ts-soft]

Without this feature, the Namespace of modules is not to be used really sensibly.

[MrTAToad]

Quite true

The idea behind the modules is you can share it and include it in your project asap. If someone wants to write a module without EnableExplicit, he can, and if you include it with EnableExplicit in your code, it will still work.
