------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 26 09:29:42 -0700 2005 ------- Andreas :-) you've confused me I'm afraid, >For a long time is has been completely >ignored that a variable has been declared as private, it has been handled just >as if it was public. This is fixed now but the correct behaviour depends on the >compatibility mode as otherwise old programs could be broken But the default compatability mode is false isn't it? so it seems old code will run happily using a private variable from other modules ( in otherwords the scoping rules are ignored ), surely thats not good? it would seem more sensible to impose the correct ( as in an error is generated if you do that ) by default and offer a fallback via configuration or something for older code. Maybe I don't understand what exactly the compatability mode is for ( didn't see it documented ) mmm actually there two of them, theres that other one you can set via 'OPTION' as well. 'tis a bit confusing. >If you use it in the module where it's not >declared, you don't really use a illegally created module variable but you use >>the >other module's variable although it's private I disagree here, if option EXPLICIT is set then all variables should be declared right?, but using a variable declared as private in another module imo breaks that, especially since a private variable has by definition module scope only, the module the variable is used in ( but not defined in ) surely should have no knowledge of this variable true? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
