How to compile with pedantic and deal with warning 17?

zerospeed · Post by **zerospeed** » Jul 19, 2011 13:04

Hello,

I've been trying to compile several of my old programs with FB 0.22 and found lot of warnings 17 in them due usage of __FILE__:

Code: Select all

test\test_configuration_file.bas(7) warning 17(0): Possible escape sequence found in: "test\test_configuration_file.bas"

Since this is a #define, I've tried to use ## to concatenate $ and __FILE__ but that do not process properly.

Seems to me that the only solution to these issues will be FreeBASIC uses slashes instead of backslashes on Windows for __FILE__

Thoughts?

Thank you

compiler option: -w pedantic
is a shortcut of
compiler options: -w param -w Escape
see documentation:
http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php ... mpilerOptw

To suppress warning due to escape sequence,
use only compiler option: -w param

We can fix __FILE__ (and the other built-in defines returning strings) to always prepend $. It should do that anyways.

That will be great!

Shall I open a ticket on SourceForge, or this thread is enough?

Thank you!

I just committed a fix, so if that's ok, then we may aswell bypass Sourceforge.

Is on SVN trunk? would like do a local build to test it out.

Thank you.

We switched from SVN to Git during the last weeks, so the SVN repository won't be updated anymore, all code is going here now: http://fbc.git.sourceforge.net/

That is awesome news. I'm quite used to Git nowdays so is great that FB moved too (one less context switching tool to remember) ;-)

Thank you, once again!
