XSharp

This dialect shares the features of "All Non Core Dialects".

The compiler and runtime have the following "special" behavior when compiling for the "Xbase++" dialect:

Compiler

•Allows 4 letter abbreviations of those keywords where this is also supported in Xbase++.

•Allows "&&" as same line comment characters, just like "//".

•The '@' operator is only used to pass variables by reference.

•The preprocessor adds a define __XPP__ with a value of TRUE.

•Allows ENDFOR instead of NEXT.

•Adds the Xbase++ specific CLASS syntax to define classes.

•The entry point to the code is the main() function or main() procedure.

Runtime

•FieldGet() and FieldPut() will not throw an error when writing to non existing field Positions.

•If you use the index operator on a usual which contains a string, you will receive the 1 based substring of the value.
