#1000 '__FB_ARGC__' and '__FB_ARGV__' don't work with '-r' switch

[Erik Siers]

When compiling with the '-r' switch under DOS, Win32, or Win64 (and presumably other systems), FB_ARGC and FB_ARGV are not defined, but when omitting '-r' they are:

D:\Win64tools\Programming\FreeBASIC>type tst.bas
print __FB_ARGC__
print *__FB_ARGV__[0]

D:\Win64tools\Programming\FreeBASIC>fbc64 -version

D:\Win64tools\Programming\FreeBASIC>fbc64 tst.bas

D:\Win64tools\Programming\FreeBASIC>tst.exe

tst.exe

D:\Win64tools\Programming\FreeBASIC>fbc64 -r tst.bas
tst.bas(1) error 42: Variable not declared, __FB_ARGC__ in 'print __FB_ARGC__'
tst.bas(2) error 42: Variable not declared, __FB_ARGV__ in 'print *__FB_ARGV__[0]'

Try:
fbc64 -r tst.bas -m tst

See:
-r option

When using the -r option, -m must be specified when compiling the main module

And see also: -m option, __FB_ARGC__

__FB_ARGC__ and __FB_ARGV__ are defined for the implicit main function in the main module only.

-r option overrides fbc's normal decision making about what to build and therefore fbc will not automatically infer that the module to translate is a main module.

[Erik Siers]

Ah, I apologize. I never noticed that bit about '-m' before. Sorry for the inaccurate report.

[Jeff Marshall]

Thank-you for the report!
