%allow-bare-refs

Prohibits the use of the '$' character in variable names, method calls, and object member references. This makes Qore scripts appear superficially more like C++ or Java programs. This parse option is set by default with %new-style.

Name resolution is made in the following order when this option is set: local variables, class constants and static class vars (when parsing in class code), global variables, and (non-class) constants.

Note that implicit arguments are still referenced with the '$' character even when this parse option is set.

Since Qore 0.8.1.

%assume-local

Assume local variable scope when variables are first referenced if no my or our is present. When used with %allow-bare-refs, local variables without my must be declared with a data type restriction (can be any). This parse option is set by default with %new-style

Since Qore 0.8.1.

%define

Creates and optionally sets a value for a parse define

Since Qore 0.8.3.

%disable-all-warnings

Turns off all warnings

%disable-warningwarning-code

Disables the named warning until %enable-warning is encountered with the same code or %enable-all-warnings is encountered

%else

Allows for parsing an alternate block when used with the %ifdef or %ifndef parse directives (for conditional parsing based on parse defines)

Since Qore 0.8.3.

%enable-all-warnings

Turns on all warnings

%enable-warningwarning-code

Enables the named warning.

%endif

Closes a conditionally-parsed block started by the %ifdef or %ifndef parse directives (for conditional parsing based on parse defines)

Since Qore 0.8.3.

%exec-classclass name

Instantiates the named class as the application class. Also turns on %no-top-level. If the program is read from stdin or from the command-line, an argument must be given specifying the class name.

%ifdef

Opens a conditionally-parsed block; if the given parse define is defined, then the block after the %ifdef is parsed until either an %else or an %endif

Since Qore 0.8.3.

%ifndef

Opens a conditionally-parsed block; if the given parse define is not defined, then the block after the %ifdef is parsed until either an %else or an %endif

Since Qore 0.8.3.

%includefile_name

Starts parsing file_name immediately. Parsing resumes with the current input after file_name has been completely parsed.

%lock-options

Prohibits further changes to parse options (equivalent to the --lock-options command-line option).

%lock-warnings

Prohibits further changes to the warning mask (equivalent to the --lock-warnings command-line option).

%new-style

Sets both %allow-bare-refs and %assume-local. These two options together make programming in Qore superficially more like programming in C++ or Java programs; use this if you dislike programming with the '$' sign, for example.

Since Qore 0.8.1.

Since Qore 0.8.0.

%requiresfeature [<|<=|=|>=|> <version>]

If the named feature is not already present in Qore, then the QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variable is used to provide a list of directories to seach for a module with the same name (feature.qmod). If the module is not found, then the qore default module directory is checked. This directive must be used to load modules providing parse support (i.e. modules providing classes, constants, functions, etc that are resolved at parse time). If version information is provided, then it is compared with the module's version information, and if it does not match a parse exception is raised. See also load_module() for a run-time module loading.

%set-time-zone

Sets the time zone for the current program from a UTC offset (with format +/-[00[:00[:00]]; ':' characters are optional) or a time zone region name (ex: 'Europe/Prague').

Since Qore 0.8.3.

%strict-args

Prohibits access to builtin functions and methods flagged with RT_NOOP and also causes errors to be raised if excess arguments are given to functions that do not access excess arguments.

Since Qore 0.8.0.
