[Gambas-user] Circular references

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hello everybody,

Sorry, I've added the wrong version. Here's the correct one. (The name has changed, but never mind.) It is a command-line tool that is part of a larger project, namely an editor for data related to additive sound synthesis with the Aeolus organ emulator (see www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/aeolus), but this is not important now.
The program, when launched without command-line parameters, just prints a help text and quits. But I get the message:

WARNING: circular references detected
ParamDef (19)

There are no references to objects of other classes in the ParamDef class. The ParamDef object is a pure data structure made up of primitive datatypes only. The static part of the class uses the object and refers to the static Options class, but there is no reference back to ParamDef in the code of the Options class. So I don't understand why I get this message.

I use Gambas 2.8, and I have this problem with nearly all of my projects. I'm not quite sure whether circular references between static classes are a problem and would justify a warning, but in this case there are not even such static circular references.

In any case, the messages should be suppressed outside the IDE. My suggestion would be to suppress them by default and add a command-line option to the Gambas runtime that makes it show them. The IDE could then launch gbx2 with this option, and you would have the messages all right for debugging but not when running an executable already installed on your filesystem; they aren't of any use in this case either, for you can't do anything about it once the executable is installed.

Regards, Daniel
