Merrik Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi, I am using yours example for an NT Service and it works fine, but sometimes when the computer is starting up and logging on I'll get the message Error: Variable used without being declared. It is very random and not consistent.In the _Svc_Main() section I have justed added very basic stuff.Any help is appreciated.I haved added this section, which shouldn't cause a problem:Func _ReduceMemory($i_PID = -1) If $i_PID <> -1 Then Local $ai_Handle = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1f0fff, 'int', False, 'int', $i_PID) Local $ai_Return = DllCall("psapi.dll", 'int', 'EmptyWorkingSet', 'long', $ai_Handle[0]) DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'int', 'CloseHandle', 'int', $ai_Handle[0]) Else Local $ai_Return = DllCall("psapi.dll", 'int', 'EmptyWorkingSet', 'long', -1) EndIf Return $ai_Return[0] EndFunc;==> _ReduceMemory() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrik Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 The error message tells you the line and the variable which is not declared if the script is run from SciTE.Can you post the complete message? Hi Water,The line is 3246 and doesn't exist. So I figure something strange is happening.Most of the time I never get the error - just occassionally. I nonethless would like to resolve it.

pieeater Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Most of the time i never get the error - just occassionally.it might be in the UDF that your using since it's not directly in your code. or you could be using the syntax wrong. maby, im not 100% sure.

Merrik Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 it might be in the UDF that your using since it's not directly in your code. or you could be using the syntax wrong. maby, im not 100% sure.I thought about the UDF also. There is no such line I'll keep looking through the code. If the error consistently popped up I would understand, but it is random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The line number given from a compiled script is useless for troubleshooting where the problem is in the script, the numbers never match up. I would try running the script through Au3Check with the -d option and see if the variable issue shows up. The only other thing I can think to do, short of going through your script and the UDF and checking that each variable is properly declared, is using the Opt("Mustdeclarevars", 1) setting at the top of your script and testing it a LOT.

water Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Most of the time I never get the error - just occassionally. I nonethless would like to resolve it.What do you mean by "most of the time"?If you run the same script from SciTe multiple times you sometimes get the error and sometimes you don't?Do you use Obfuscator when compiling the script? If yes then there is a file scriptname_obfuscated.au3 which is then fed to the compiler.Check this file to see which statement is wrong.

xavierh Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 This may help.I have noticed this issue in one of my projects: I would get the intermittent error "Variable used without being declared"It was pointing to a line that was a declaration, or a blank line between functions.After adding messages to narrow down the area in the code where there was a problem, I found that I had a declaration inside a branch, and was using it in another branch. I thought AutoIT would scan the complete function for declarations like in ms VB6 before running the code and that $arTokens only needed to be declared once, but that was not correct (and it looks like the syntax check made the same bad assumption). The code looked like this:if ($Condition1) Then Dim $arTokens = StringSplit ( $sTestFileBuff, @CRLF & $sTestInfo & "+Copies: 1 - 2" & @CRLF, 1 ) etcElseIf (Condition2) Then $arTokens = StringSplit ( $sTestFileBuff, @CRLF & $sTestInfo & @CRLF, 1 ) etcElseIf (Condition3) Then $arTokens = StringSplit ( $sTestFileBuff, @CRLF & $CurrentLine & @CRLF ) etcElse etc.EndIfThe issue disappeared after I added "Dim " before $arTokens in each branch.The declaration problem was not caught when I did the syntax check from inside the SciTE IDE (ctrl F5) though the lineOpt("MustDeclareVars", 1)was at the top of the script.I assume that the issue was intermittent because the code path that would be used is not always the same. In some paths, variables would be correctly initialized (if Condition1 is true in the example above), in others, they would not, and the error would come up.

BrewManNH Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 If it's a global variable, you should be declaring it at the top of the script, if it's a local variable you should be declaring it at the start of the function. Otherwise, you'll end up with the conditional declaration as you discovered. It's bad programming to conditionally declare a variable that way. It probably wasn't flagged as an undeclared variable due to the declaration after the first condition, because it comes before the other lines that use the same variable the other instances were assumed to be declared already. If you had put the Dim statement before the last conditional it probably would have been flagged. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

xavierh Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 there are differing opinions about where to declare the variables, but this is not the right forum for that kind of discussion. The idea here was to explain a situation where the undeclared variable error would crop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
