another wish: #pragma

[fsw]

I know fb is not c (well actually Vic said once fb is c in a clown costume) but how about adding #pragma.
This way we could set the compiler settings inside the main bas file (if we wish to).

Just keep the same compiler switches:

• #PRAGMA -inputlist <name> 'xxx.a = library, xxx.o = object, xxx.bas = source, xxx.rc = resource script, xxx.res = compiled resource
  
  #PRAGMA -a <name> 'Add an object file to linker's list
  #PRAGMA -arch <type> 'Set target architecture (def: 486)
  #PRAGMA -b <name> 'Add a source file to compilation
  #PRAGMA -c 'Compile only, do not link
  #PRAGMA -d <name=val> 'Add a preprocessor's define
  #PRAGMA -dll 'Same as -dylib
  #PRAGMA -dylib 'Create a DLL, including the import library
  #PRAGMA -e 'Add error checking
  #PRAGMA -entry <name> 'Set a non-standard entry point, see -m
  #PRAGMA -ex 'Add error checking with RESUME support
  #PRAGMA -g 'Add debug info (testing)
  #PRAGMA -i <name> 'Add a path to search for include files
  #PRAGMA -l <name> 'Add a library file to linker's list
  #PRAGMA -lib 'Create a static library
  #PRAGMA -m <name> 'Main file w/o ext, the entry point (def: 1st .bas on list)
  #PRAGMA -nodeflibs 'Do not include the default libraries
  #PRAGMA -noerrline 'Do not show source line where error occured
  #PRAGMA -o <name> 'Set output name (in the same number as source files)
  #PRAGMA -p <name> 'Add a path to search for libraries
  #PRAGMA -r 'Do not delete the asm file(s)
  #PRAGMA -s <name> 'Set subsystem (gui, console)
  #PRAGMA -t <value> 'Set stack size in kbytes (default: 1M)
  #PRAGMA -v 'Be verbose
  #PRAGMA -version 'Show compiler version
  #PRAGMA -x <name> 'Set executable/library name
  #PRAGMA -w <value> 'Set min warning level
  

If we would get #PRAGMA there would not be a need for an external make file, because the main bas file would drive everything.

A VERY good Idea!

That would be splendid!!
