Hi Enrico,
I really don't see what's the difference betweenbBlock := &( "{||" + cExpr + "}" ) and bBlock := hb_macroCompile( "{||" + cExpr + "}" )
Nothing. Though, we've been talking about this expression: :) bBlock := hb_macroCompile( cExpr )
other than that you have to type more characters. I don't know if there is a speed concern but the first expression is idiomatic for a Clipper-head.
For me the hack-less function format looks much cleaner. It's probably also a bit quicker and generates slightly smaller code, and this way you can very easily identify where your code uses macro compilation. Maybe this won't qualify my as a Clipper-head, but I always had a dislike for the '&' operator. I'm currently hiding it with an STRCOMPILE() macro, which does the same as hb_macroCompile().
