Hello,

This won't compile:

Sub DebugPrint( _
              sStrIn as String, _               '' The debug string.
              sFunc as String, _                '' The calling Function.
              ByVal intValue as Integer = 0 _   '' The value to debug (if any.)
              )

This will:

Sub DebugPrint( _
              sStrIn as String, _               ' The debug string.
              sFunc as String, _                ' The calling Function.
              ByVal intValue as Integer = 0 _   ' The value to debug (if any.)
              )

Hello,

it seems to compile fine here with fbc 1.05 on linux-x86:

Sub DebugPrint( _
              sStrIn as String, _               ' The debug string.
              sFunc as String, _                ' The calling Function.
              ByVal intValue as Integer = 0 _   ' The value to debug (if any.)
              )
end sub

Sub DebugPrint2( _
              sStrIn as String, _               '' The debug string.
              sFunc as String, _                '' The calling Function.
              ByVal intValue as Integer = 0 _   '' The value to debug (if any.)
              )
end sub

What error message do you get?

or are you referring to the issue that fbc just ignores all characters behind a _ line continuation until the end of the line? That certainly is a bit odd.

Hello,

Sub DebugPrint( _

It would be helpful to have a code example that shows the problem.

The first error you got seems to be

Illegal specification, at parameter 2 of DebugPrint()

This indicates a problem with the declaration of that parameter. Is it sStrIn as String? It looks correct, unless there are #define's in the code that interfere with the identifier or keywords.

After renaming it to mDebug.bas and commenting out the Function = FF_LSet(....) line, it compiled here.

I see DebugPrint() begins with

Sub DebugPrint( _
              sStrIn as String, _               ' The debug string.
              sFunc as String = __FUNCTION__, _ ' The calling Function.
              ByVal intValue as Integer = 0 _   ' The value to debug (if any.)
              )

which looks ok to me. It should definitely work.

Though a possible explanation for the "illegal specification" error could be that the parameter name is #defined as macro. (but that's just a guess on my part, without seeing the whole code it's hard to say)
Does it help if you insert #undefs like this:

[...]

#undef sStrIn
#undef sFunc
#undef intValue

Sub DebugPrint( _
              sStrIn as String, _               ' The debug string.
              sFunc as String = __FUNCTION__, _ ' The calling Function.
              ByVal intValue as Integer = 0 _   ' The value to debug (if any.)
              )

[...]

Hi,

I thought it was a bug but if it isn't then I just won't use double
apostrophes!

Thanks for your help.
