<title>Diagnostic Messages</title>
<h>Diagnostic Messages</h>
<part>
<text>
Certain constructs may be flagged by the engine as potentially
unintended or deprecated. In these cases, the engine will, by default,
emit a warning to the log file.
</text>
<text>
On occasion, these constructs are in fact intended by the script
author. In order to avoid unwanted warning messages hiding more important
messages, the engine supports selectively suppressing a warning category
for parts of a script.
</text>
</part>
<part>
<text>
Suppression and re-enablement is handled by the <code>#warning</code>
directive. The directive must be placed on a separate line.
</text>
<text>Warnings can be controlled using this syntax:</text>
<code>#warning {enable|disable} [warning_category [warning_category...]]</code>
<text>
If no category is given, the engine will suppress or enable all messages,
including those that are not enabled by default. A category remains
disabled or enabled until the next directive that affects it, or until
the end of the script. A script linked to via the <code>#include</code>
or <code>#appendto</code> directives does not affect, and is itself not
affected by, the warning settings of the current script.
</text>
<text>
It is not an error to specify a category that does not exist; the
invalid category is simply ignored. No separate warning is emitted.
</text>
</part>
<part>
<h>Warning Categories</h>
<text>The following warning categories currently exist:</text>
<table>
<rowh>
<col>Category</col>
<col>Description</col>
</rowh>
<row>
<col>invalid_escape_sequence</col>
<col>
<text>
The engine found an escape sequence inside a string that it
did not recognize.
</text>
<part><code>"\p"</code></part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>invalid_hex_escape</col>
<col>
<text>
The engine found the start of a hexadecimal escape sequence
inside a string, but no hexadecimal digits followed it.
</text>
<part><code>"\xGN"</code></part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>type_name_used_as_par_name</col>
<col>
<text>
A function parameter was declared without an explicit type
specification, but with a name that is the same as a built-in type.
</text>
<part><code>func f(array)</code></part>
<text>
This warning is not enabled by default.
<a href="#fn1" title="The warning may be enabled by default in a future version.">¹</a>
</text>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>empty_parameter_in_call</col>
<col>
<text>
In a function call, a parameter was left empty. The engine is
passing <code>nil</code> in its place.
</text>
<part><code><funclink>CreateObject</funclink>(Clonk,, 30, 100);</code></part>
<text>
This warning is not enabled by default.
<a href="#fn1" title="The warning may be enabled by default in a future version.">¹</a>
</text>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>empty_parameter_in_array</col>
<col>
<text>
In an array literal, an entry was left empty. The engine is
using <code>nil</code> in its place.
</text>
<part><code>[1, 2,, 3, 4]</code></part>
<text>
This warning is not enabled by default.
<a href="#fn1" title="The warning may be enabled by default in a future version.">¹</a>
</text>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>implicit_range_loop_var_decl</col>
<col>
<text>
The loop variable of a for-in loop was not declared either in the
loop header itself nor in the containing function. This is only
accepted for backwards compatibility and may be removed in a
future release. Explicitly declare the variable by adding the
<code>var</code> keyword.
</text>
<part>
<code>func f() {
	for (i in [1, 2, 3]) {
	}
}</code>
</part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>non_global_var_is_never_const</col>
<col>
<text>
A variable has been declared as <code>const</code>, but is not
global. At this time, non-global variables are always mutable.
</text>
<part>
<code>const local a = {}</code>
</part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>variable_shadows_variable</col>
<col>
<text>
The declaration of a variable uses the same name as a variable
in a greater scope. Changes to the shadowing variable will not
affect the shadowed variable.
</text>
<part>
<code>static foo;
func f() {
	var foo = 3;
}</code>
</part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>redeclaration</col>
<col>
<text>
A variable has been redeclared in the same scope. Make sure
you do not accidentally overwrite values another part of the
code relies upon.
</text>
<part>
<code>func f() {
	var i;
	var i;
}</code>
</part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>undeclared_varargs</col>
<col>
<text>
Use of <code><funclink>Par</funclink></code> inside a function
implicitly declares it as using a variable number of arguments.
This is not immediately obvious to callers of the function, and
should be explicitly declared in the function signature by
adding a final <code>...</code> parameter.
</text>
<part>
<code>func f(a) {
	return <funclink>Par</funclink>(a);
}
// Better:
func g(a, ...) {
	return <funclink>Par</funclink>(a);
}</code>
</part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>arg_count_mismatch</col>
<col>
<text>
A function call passes more parameters than the function will
accept.
</text>
<part>
<code><funclink>GetDir</funclink>(0)</code>
</part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>arg_type_mismatch</col>
<col>
<text>
The parameter given in a function call is of a different type
than the called function expects. The call will likely fail at
runtime.
</text>
<part>
<code><funclink>Sin</funclink>("huh?")</code>
</part>
</col>
</row>
<row>
<col>empty_if</col>
<col>
<text>
An <code>if</code> conditional is controlling an empty statement.
Use the empty block <code>{}</code> if this is intentional, or
remove the conditional entirely.
</text>
<part>
<code>if (true);</code>
</part>
</col>
</row>
