Variable Header
About
Some programming languages require variables to be declared at the beginning of function and program. In these languages, there is a clear distinction between variable declarations and the code that makes use of them. This is the case with Pascal.
The Variable Header section uses the same is used to generate a list of variables They are inserted into functions using the --->VARIABLES special value..
| Pascal Example | ||
| [Variable Header Name] | ||
| Separator | = ,{space} | |
| Text | = {name} | |
| [Variable Header] | ||
| Text | = {variables} : array of {type}; | | array |
| = {variables} : {type}; | ~array | |
Variable Header Name Section
About
This section is used to generate a list of variable names that will be used, later, in the [Variable Header] section.
Separator Key
The Separator defines the text that will be inserted between the list of variable names.
| Fields |
| None |
| Flags |
| None |
Text Key
The text key is used to generate the syntax of the each item in the list. The {size} variable contains a valid value if the Declare Statement is an array. Use the 'array' flag to use the proper syntax.
| Fields | Contents |
| {type} | The variable's data type |
| {name} | Name of the variable. |
| {size} | Size of the array |
The first and last flags can be used if the syntax differs for the first
or last items in the list.
| Flags | When True |
| array | The declaration is an array |
| first | The variable is the first item in the list. |
| last | The variable is the last item in the list. |
Declare Section
About
The Declare Section is used to create the syntax for a Declare Statement.
Text Key
The text key is used to generate the syntax of the each item in the list. The {size} variable contains a valid value if the Declare Statement is an array. Use the 'array' flag to use the proper syntax.
| Fields | Contents |
| {variables} | The names of the variables - generated by the Variable Header Name section. |
| {size} | Size of the array. Only valid the declaration is an array. |
| {type} | Name of the data type |
The first and last flags can be used if the syntax differs for the first or last items in the list.
| Flags | When True |
| array | The declaration is an array |
| first | The declare is the first item in the block. |
| last | The declare is the last item in the block. |
Name Mode Key
The name mode key can contain two different values:
- separate (the default)
- merged
When merged, all variable names will be merged into a single list. In this case, the {size} and {type} fields are meaningless.
