Language Feature Requests

You posted this in the Question and Tips area of the KB, sorry that's not the correct place for that, and you should have a look at the documentation as some of your requests are already available in version 3.7

• FOR loops

The #for Directive--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

• BREAK statements inside loops

The #switch, #case, #range and #break Directives has been modified to handle breaks in loops now.--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

SWITCH statements are not loops. Examples of loops are the WHILE and FOR statements. SharkD 22:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

• You DIDN'T read far enough. I was referring you to the change in the #break behavior. See the Note: section just past the first pre-formatted text (blue) box. --jholsenback 03:10, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

• Unary operators -- and ++
• Binary operators +=, -=, /=, *=, etc.
• Double == in conditions

Not all but some are already implemented. See: Operators

and String Relational Operators--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

• ELSEIF statements

The #if...#else...#end Directives--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't see ELSEIF mentioned anywhere. SharkD 22:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

• OK I'll give you that one, but #switch can emulate that behavior. --jholsenback 03:10, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

• Hash arrays
• Multi-type arrays
• Expandable arrays

• There may be an appropriate news group for mentioning these others items.--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

• A system variable to test whether a file has been included or not, or even inclusion depth

The #ifdef and #ifndef Directives--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

IFDEF and IFNDEF are statements. They are not variables. SharkD 22:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
