This option specifies whether to allow named arguments in the parser or not.
Syntax
-namedargs [+ | -]
Arguments
| + | - | Specifying +, or just -namedargs, directs the compiler to allow namedarguments. Specifying - directs the compiler to NOT use named arguments. |
Remarks
The default = + for the Core dialect and - for all other dialects. So -namedargs- only is useful in combination with the Core dialect.
Note: If you enable this option, then quite often existing code such as the code below will produce compiler errors. That is why we have disabled named arguments for most dialects.
FUNCTION Start as VOID
LOCAL a AS ARRAY
-/ When named arguments are enabled then the compiler will complain that there is no parameter named "a" for the Empty function
IF !Empty( a := SomeFunctionThatReturnsAnArray())
-/ do something
ENDIF
RETURN
