 |
|
I just saw the problem of no error on script load when a space exists between func name and the open parenthesis happen in this thread so I thought it was fair to bring up again. Obviously Chris has had this syntax enhancement in the pipe for a while, but having no error thrown at all can present a very ugly problem for an unwitting user.
I'm sure there are inherent problems with coding an effective way to catch this error correctly in scripts, but alas, I have no insight into the programming aspect of AHK.

There is no syntax error in it, it'll just be an implicit concatenation in AHK.
| Code: | test(x,y,z){
MsgBox, % x "|" y "|" z
}
test:="test"
v := test (1,2,3) ; test . (1,2,3)
MsgBox % v

Though I agree with Sean, this still doesn't seem consistent (unless I'm just missing what Sean is meaning). Take for example: | Code: | RegExReplace ("AutoHotkey","key") ; <-- No Error - just returns the first parameter
RegExReplace . ("AutoHotkey","key") ; <-- Causes Error |

Just the same with:
All will be fine if used like this.
| Code: | x:=0, 1 (2,3)
x:=0, 1 . (2,3) |

Well I guess is my point is I'd like for there to be an error when that occurs in the script. Hence the reiterated wish. Given the amount of time it has taken to this point I'm assuming it's a difficult fix, though.

I'll never like that "implicit concatenation" feature, IMO it's bad design. But it's certainly much to late to abolish it.

Not a fan either, so I always use the explicit "." concatenator.
