Miguel,
I agree that extension is preferable, but in this case, on str function, this
have no sence. The unique purpose of str is convert a numeric var to string
one. For it we have asc() function. IMO, this extension is uselesss on str and
produce strange results, instead expected ones. In other way, xHarbour doesn't
compile with HB_C52_STRICT. I got many errors.
I would like error/base instead these results:
? str('1') // null char
? str('1',0) // 49
? str('1',1) // *
? str('1',2) // 49
My 2 cents !
regards,
Eduardo
