Was this feature ever enabled in the commercial version ?

// example
LOCAL Var1 AS CHARACTER
Var1 := 3

seems to compile and run without issue

Any documentation ?

There is no strong typing in xBase, And with := you set a variable anew.
If you try Var1 = 3 you should get an error I think

Hi Gary,

The commercial version was always exactly IDENTICAl to the .org - the only difference was the builtin C compiler.

In terms of tying, I wrote this so long ago I don't recall the status exactly but IIRC you have to enable HIGHER WARNING level to enable Compile Time warning for static type conflicts.

I tried with -w3 and got no warning. I suppose type checking is disabled.

Looking through what Ron uploaded, it seems it has to be enabled and wasn't.
I had forgotten the W3 level, it always threw warnings a variable was not in use, when it clearly was,
finally threw a Q&D checker together for that. There was a commercial Lint checker around the turn of the century,
anybody know a replacement?

I've used -W3 since the beginning and never found any problem. I could
not use any lower warning level.

More testing, seems MiniGUI version is compiled with support, but its a run-time error
as compared to the expected compile-time error.

I just checked the sources, and apparently xHarbour has to be compiled with HB_COMP_STRONG_TYPES defined to enable and then W3 or greater.

Ok, thank you. I prefer not to enable it in the official distribution.

Greater? I was not aware there are greater warning levels! I tried -w4
with my programs and found no new warnings. The level -w5 is not
accepted, -w4 seems to be the higher warning level. What is the
difference between -w3 and -w4?

Yes, I agree - it was strongly coupled with specific PCODE and AFAICT it was not maintained and might not be up to date.

I just created an xharbour-org (xHarbour.org) organization on GitHub, transferred the xHarbour repo to xHarbour.org, and gave your ownership role so you can continue as Admin.

Means you now can give write access yourself. Since you have been the person that maintained the project for last years it seems natural that you continue.
