The following entries shows us how my idea was used in Harbour without
giving credits because "Idea Cannot Be CopyRighted". I know for sure the
codes are not mine but I can assure you that the "Idea" to implement it
in xHarbour was mine. This idea was first strongly rejected by Harbour
developers, but I found it now implemented in Harbour. I know I'm not
entitled to claim nor I am looking for "rewards" because truthfully I do
not expect it. If people can use my idea, I am a very happy man
eventhough it was implemented with many exceptions/comments. :-)

* harbour/source/pp/ppcore.c
! fixed line number set for C preprocessor in #pragma begindump
* harbour/include/hbcomp.h
* harbour/source/compiler/hbmain.c
* harbour/source/compiler/genc.c
* added detection of static Harbour functions in #pragma begindump
code. I do not like it because it cannot be well implemented on
other then real C compiler/preprocessor level but it's probably
better then different workarounds I see in some [x]Harbour 3-rd
party projects.
Warning this functionality is not officially supported. It's a hack
to existing #pragma begindump hack and activated only for dumped C
code. It tries to detect Harbour static functions declared by
HB_FUNC_STATIC( name ) but it does not make any real C preprocessing.
Only strips comments and strings and then looks for above statement
dividing the code to some basic tokens so it will give wrong results
for code like:
#if 0
HB_FUNC_STATIC( MYFUNC )
#else
HB_FUNC( MYFUNC )
#endif
{
hb_retc( "MyFunc" );
}
but it works correctly for simple code which does not use conditional
compilation and does not try to redefine HB_FUNC_STATIC() macro, f.e:
proc main()
? YEAR( DATE() ), MONTH( DATE() ), DAY( DATE() ), TEST()
return
#pragma begindump
#include "hbapi.h"
/* are comments stripped? If not then HB_FUNC_STATIC( DATE )
in comment can create troubles. */
// HB_FUNC_STATIC( YEAR ) just like this one in C++ comments
#define MYHB_FUNC_STATIC( fun ) #fun // to test whole word tokens
/* COMMENT */HB_FUNC_STATIC( TEST )
{
hb_retc( "HB_FUNC_STATIC( DAY )->" MYHB_FUNC_STATIC( MONTH ) );
}
#pragma enddump
Before we had wrong results for any code like:
HB_FUNC_STATIC( MYFUNC )
{
hb_retc( "MyFunc" );
}
so it's not making anything worse (I hope ;-)).
The implementation is intentionally local to -gc output to not
effect other compiler code.
