Brian, IMO, Victor's answer is nothing but a poor attempt at an excuse. He doesn't list any technical reason what so ever. IMO, there was no reason what so ever to change the name. If the name would not be changed there would NOT be: - Any "environment variations". - "higher priority" c

Sorry, I still can't understand. I see no reason why the name must be changed. What would be the problem with: #if ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION == 5 #undef ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION #define ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION 500 #elif ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION == 6 #undef ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION #define ADS_REQUIRE_VER

Ron: I believe it's due to the fact that it would be difficult to compare single digit vs triple digit values in the constants being that they are not strings, but also in the way Viktor implemented the auto-detect feature: From rddads.h in the harbour svn: #include "ace.h" /* Autodetect ACE v

[xHarbour-developers] ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION -> ADS_LIB_VERSION and other build environment changes

2008-05-20 Thread bhays
ADS adds functions and features on incremental releases, so the major-version-only usage of ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION was problematic in accurately isolating code to match libs and dlls. In the Harbour project, Viktor created a new more accurate ADS_LIB_VERSION to handle 3 or more digits of version#s

Toninho: Auto-detect isn't mandatory. I've been testing Viktor's changes and they work just fine once you do the minor adjustments to you compile environment. ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION becomes obsolete so you should not define it. Instead, you would use ADS_LIB_VERSION as in SET ADS_LIB_VERSION=700

Ron, given that Eduardo has a collection of applets to test, we could start by testing them (I mean, if Eduardo wants to do this test). I agree with you that a rewrite, sometimes, is a better thing than several years of patches. Looking at the code it seems to me that Przemyslaw tbrowse is super

Enrico, There's a problem with converting all NILs to OleDefaultArg() because we have no way to detect explicit NIL, vs. implied NIL. IOW: o:SomeOleCall( 1, , 3 ) o:SomeOleCall( 1, NIL, 3 ) We have no way to know if the 2nd argument was an explicit NIL, or an omitted argument. Thus

Guys, Please take the time to review and evaluate the new TBrowse, before rushing to state your preference. I'd prefer we first have a LIST of: 1. Missing xHarbour features. 2. Incompatibles if any - compared to both existing xHarbour as well as Clipper. 3. Pending issues with existing TBrows
