Local variables generator tool

[Guest]

hello,

this tool will create for your function the local variables in one click!

image and exmple of use:

Please note:

Use this tool only if you know what you are doing!

this tool can insert also global variables in the local line because the tool does not know what is the global variables outside the function(at this time).

so after you get the local line from the tool, check the variables and delete variables that you know they are global !

Download + Source Code:

New:

Local variables generator - v3.rar

Changes:

* if there are more than 8 Local variables, then it will create new line.

each line contains up to 8 variables.

(in the example image i deleted a few variables. That's why there are no 8 variables line 2)

* the algorithm will Ignore variables that written after ";". - for example:

;$test = 1

in this case the variable $test will not add to the local line.

* other bug fix

Previous versions:

 

Local variables generator - v2.rar

Changes:

* Variables after "For" - for example:

for $a = 1 to 100

$a will not add to the Local variables. (thanks to Melba23)

* Other small fix in the algorithm.

Hope you like it!

Does your code detect existing global variables used in a function?

No. I was not thought about it when I wrote it.

I thought about it later.

It is a good idea but i still do not know how much work it requires to add this detection

gil900,

And you do not need to declare loop variables (like $a in your example) as they are automatically Local, even when MustDeclareVars is set.

Well I do this in SciTE Jump by parsing the script (+ includes) of what Global variables are used and then working from there. It's the part when I create a text file of functions used etc...

Also about your idea, it's good, but by coding standards variables should be declared in their lowest scope. So declaring all variables at the start of the function is considered bad.

; Bad.
Func Example()
    Local $iVar = 0, $sSomeVar = '', $vVar = -1
    ...
    Do 
        $iVar += 1
    Until $iVar = 10
    
    ; This will return False as $iVar will be positive and thus declaring $sSomeVar or $vVar was a bad choice.
    If $iVar Then Return False
    ...
    $vVar = 99
    $sSomeVar= Chr(Random(65, 127, 1))
EndFunc

; Good.
Func Example()
    Local $iVar = 0
    ...
    Do 
        $iVar += 1
    Until $iVar = 10
    
    ; This will return False as $iVar will be positive and thus no need to declare $sSomeVar or $vVar.
    If $iVar Then Return False
    Local $sSomeVar = '', $vVar = -1
    ...
    $vVar = 99
    $sSomeVar= Chr(Random(65, 127, 1))
EndFunc

ok.

this only mean that i need to add this in line 109:

.... And _ArraySearch($aTmp1,"For",1) <= 0 And _ArraySearch($aTmp1,"While",1) <= 0

If I missed something then tell me

i need to fill array $aIgnore with all of these Global variables. this way the the algorithm will know to ignore from them..

it may be too much work so i don't going to do this unless you have a function to do this fast..

You're right ..

But the "Bad Example" it's not so bad...

Well all my functions can be found in SciTE Jump, but if you don't want it then it's OK with me.

I will give you a clue _GetVariablesOutsideFunction() is what you should look at in _Functions.au3. See I can be helpful!

ok thanks

when i write this:

$aIgnore = _GetVariablesOutsideFunction($Input)

in line 62 on my code(after i have included the function)

then i get empty array even when $Input Equal to:

 

#include <SomeFunction.au3>

Func SomeFunction($input)

........

........

EndFunc

 

If you make it work so all the work finished

The code is all there, just a case of stripping it out. Isn't this the fun part of developing?

Plus I don't have enough time to put into another tool whilst I am working out the kinks to SciTE Jump. Sorry.

You do not have to do it.

I just thought to myself that because it's fun (as you say) then you will want to do this part and you want to be part of the development of the tool ..

But if you do not want or you don't have a time then that's fine .

Well I tend just to be an advisor these days more than anything due to time constraints. I don't want you to rely on me that's all.

Okay.

So maybe I'll do it myself ..

I've designed it.

This is not so complicated as it seems...

New version released!

I too did a similar script (>list_var_funk.au3).

If to remove global, probably mistake. Quite probably that the name coincides with a global variable, but it is a local variable
