1. Problem that causes error and warning
Hello Rob,
I stumbled across a tiny issue (Eu 2.5). The following code snippet of
course runs fine:
sequence myData, text
myData = "ABC"
text = "Look at " & myData
puts(1, text)
but when the 2nd line is missing, I get the following messages:
| C:\temp\test.exw:2
| variable myData has not been assigned a value
| --> see ex.err
|
| Warning: local variable myData in test.exw is never assigned a value
So Euphoria reports an error AND a warning for the same problem here.
I think this can be confusing especially for beginners. Since an error
is more important than a warning, my suggestion is that Euphoria should
not show a warning message in cases like this.
Regards,
Juergen

Thanks, but I'm not going to worry about this.
The warning and the error provide slightly different
information. The warning says that the variable
*never* has a defined value, anywhere in the code,
while the error says that you executed some code that
needs the value of that uninitialized variable.
