In some places Clipper strips leading and trailing SPACEs and in some
others don't. It also strips TABs.
F.e.:
proc main()
memvar first
local l := " "+chr(9)+" first "+chr(9)+" "
private first := "FIRST"
? &l
? @&l
? &("fnc "+chr(9)+" ")()
? &(" "+chr(9)+" fnc "+chr(9)+" ")() // Clipper fails here
return
func fnc()
return "[FUNC()]"
I'll allow to compile and run above code in Harbour even if Clipper
does not accept the last test with macro func call and leading spaces.
If you think that we should be strict Clipper compatible here then
I can eliminate it but IMHO it's better to keep common behavior for
different constructions then replicate Clipper exceptions which do
not seems to be design decisions but rather side effects of
implementation.
Many thanks for your example.
