Title: Default TYPEs for Functions
Post by: Slydog on 2011-Aug-31

I noticed in the latest logfile:

Code (glbasic) Select

// 10.090
   // Compiler:
   //    Can assign types when declaring:
   //      LOCAL foo as Tfoo = bar

Are we closer to be able to use this in FUNCTION parameters for specifying a default for TYPE variables, such as:

Code (glbasic) Select

GLOBAL fontDefault AS TFont
GLOBAL fontHeading AS TFont

FontPrint "Using the default font", 0, 0
FontPrint "This is for a heading", 0, 100, fontHeading

FUNCTION FontPrint: text$, x%, y%, font AS TFont = fontDefault
    ....
ENDFUNCTION

If not, it would be nice to have optional TYPE parameters by using a 'NULL' concept such as:

Code (glbasic) Select

FUNCTION FontPrint: text$, x%, y%, font AS TFont = NULL
    IF font = NULL THEN font = fontDefault
    ....
ENDFUNCTION

I'll put it on the todo. It's just a c++ compiler error, the GPC already accepts it.
