RE: need help converting old style def fn functions - TempodiBasic - 07-27-2022
Yeah DIM variable at the top of the scope... an habit taken from TurboPascal for me, then from C, maybe Turbo C 1.0?
I have headache when I find variables declared in the middle of the main or of a SUB/Function.... it remember me chaotic C code found on the way of programming learned looking at code of someoneelse.
I'm stop developing a tool that translate DEF FN into Functions....
the boring part is still to be written... a parser of code that makes a list of variables in the main, a list of variable in DEF FN and makes a SHARED declaration for sharing those are in common...
thinking that 99% of code with DEF FN follow the rule declare inline variable type suffix anywhere...it must be a strong parser for don't loosing something on the road of translation!

Sometimes I get a little OCD with trying to clean up variable declarations.
Option Explicit helps!
I'm sure that tool will help people, when and if you ever get around to finishing it!
