Latest StrategyInterfaceUnit.pas error when compiling

[dackjaniels]

Error when compiling strategy using the latest pas file (FT v2.8.4).

Error is:

[Error] StrategyInterfaceUnit.pas(1513): Default value required for 'ObjType'

In this code:

Code: Select all

{-----Delete all objects-----------------------------------------------------}
procedure ObjectsDeleteAll(window: integer = 0; ObjType: TObjectType);
begin
  if assigned(IntrfProcsRec.ObjectsDeleteAll) then
    IntrfProcsRec.ObjectsDeleteAll(window, integer(ObjType));
end;

I'm not attempting to use this or any other object related functions in my strategy.

For now I've changed it to...

Code: Select all

procedure ObjectsDeleteAll(window: integer = 0; ObjType: TObjectType = obj_AnyObject);


...just so it will compile, but not sure if this is correct.

Hello Steve,

Your fix is correct. Also this issue is fixed in Forex Tester 2.8.5 (will be available soon).

Great, thank you.

Hi,

I just did the upgrade to FT 2.8.5 from within FT then copied across the appropriate .pas files from the examples folder to my development folders and the above error has returned.

Do I need to do a clean install or has this fix not been included in 2.8.5?

Got a similar or maybe exactly the same issue in 2.8.5 using delphi. Did exactly the same steps as in Lession 1.

When Compiling with CTRL-F9:

[Error] StrategyInterfaceUnit.pas(600): Unsatisfied forward or external declaration: 'ObjectsDeleteAll'

The following line is red:

procedure ObjectsDeleteAll(window: integer = 0; ObjType: TObjectType = obj_AnyObject);

Just tried to compile it with Visual Studio C++, there is also a problem with objectsdeleteall:

1>c:\users\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\firstscript\firstscript\strategyinterfaceunit.h(1692): error C2572: 'ObjectsDeleteAll' : redefinition of default parameter : parameter 1
1> c:\users\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\firstscript\firstscript\strategyinterfaceunit.h(623) : see declaration of 'ObjectsDeleteAll'

Hello,

To fix this just replace "window: integer = 0" with "window: integer".
Sorry for this error.
