I have a project that was written using BCB3. It has over 40,000 lines
of program code (2.8M compiled) and it uses serial communication which
is enabled by an add-on program, ASYNC Pro. ASYNC Pro is no longer
available but it has the ability to detect BCB3 and BCB5 in order to
install menu items. I have had BCB5 for some time but never installed
it because I feared the very issues that have arisen. Bought a new
faster computer so decided to install BCB5 on it. However, even if I
can figure out this problem, it appears that I am limited to BCB5
because of the ASYNC Pro installation program. From reading the
messages in this news group, I think I could expect similar (if not
more) problems with BCB6 or BCB2006 if I could figure out how to install
ASYNC Pro in the later versions. I have BCB6 but am now really afraid
to install it.
Now to the problem. The project compiles in BCB5 if I turn the warnings
off. Activating the warnings produces warnings until the number of them
(175) generates an error, then the compiler stops. Below is a sample of
the code which generates the typical error.
//--------------------------rb1Click-----------------------------------------
void __fastcall TfExplorer::rb1Click(TObject *Sender) {
SleepRate=500; // Slow
Timer8->Interval=2000;
}
The error message associated with the above routine:
-[C++Warning]Demo5x.cpp(437): W8057 Parameter 'Sender' is never used
-Full parser context
Demo5x.cpp(440): parsing: void_fastcall TfExplorer::rb1Click(TObject *)
If I install a new button the code looks identical in the program and
header to that above. So why the error message and is there anything I
can do to correct it?
Thank you in advance,
Gene
