How to stop\break Func immediately.

[sergeyWolf]

hi2all

simple example what i'm asking about, no real functions and others:

Global $checker = 1

Func make_one_one ()
    
    if $checker Then
        ; here break\stop for general ()
    endif
    
EndFunc

Func make_one ()
    MsgBox (0, "one", "text one")
    
    make_one_one ()
    
EndFunc

Func general ()
    make_one ()
    
;many other functions

    general ()
    
EndFunc

and question:

How to immediately break\stop general () from function make_one_one ()?

that syntaxis will leave you to a crash in the application, read about Recursion

mmmh also General() is not runing make_one_one() the function make_one() run make_one_one()

You can add a statement If to check some condition and aply an action if the condition is true or false, for esample if is true, then run ]make_one_one() if not continueloop.

because the recursion i cant do that, you should use exitloop $n, but i dont know if it work in recursive functions...

Make an statement in general too and check some variable and use return

Is a recursive function what you want? Or is an error doing that way?

Is soo confusing working whitout a working script...

mmm... copy-paste not working? lol, missed "()" at first string of general function (code already edited)

need something like exit\exitloop fo a Func

or exit\stop currently launched functions (without exiting of GUI and programm in general)

if i'll make statement which will check every time - it would be too ***cking big space of code (i'd wish they make OOP in autoit =\)

recursion not working? mmm... really? it's work fine for me

Your posted example will cause a stack overflow after a while as it never ends General properly, assuming that Func will be called at some point in time. Edited July 2, 2011 by Jos

Coding procedure aside; Assigning a hotkey to an exit function will break out of you recursion and exit.

I try to avoid it

how? example pls, i know how to make pause of script but then it will start from the place of pause

[Jos]

You can only exit the program with an Hotkey without any other logic.

Else the hotkey can call a func that sets a Variable and you need to have a test in the func running to see if its value changed and exit when it does.

[JohnOne]

Very very basic example of a pause function.

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}","_Pause")

$pause = False

While 1
    ConsoleWrite("Not Paused" & @CRLF)
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func _Pause()
    $pause = Not $Pause
    While $Pause
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc

so you propose this?

Global $checker = 0


HotKeySet("+!p", "break_all")   

Func break_all ()
    $checker = Not $checker
EndFunc

Func make_one_one ()
    
    If $checker Then
        ; some others
    EndIf
    
EndFunc

Func make_one ()
    
    If $checker Then
        MsgBox (0, "one", "text one")
    EndIf
    
    If $checker Then
        make_one_one ()
    EndIf
    
EndFunc


Func general ()
    
    If $checker Then
        make_one ()
    EndIf
    
    If $checker Then    
        general ()
    EndIf
    
EndFunc

This doesn't trigger the running Func to end and return which I believe the OP wants.

[Jos]

so you propose this?[autoit]

Your examples don't do anything as it doesn't call any func and thus terminate immediately.

Create some running snippet that we can look at and help you with.

ok, working script, untill shift+alt+p not pressed - will run MsgBox

expandcollapse popup

Global $checker = 1


HotKeySet("+!p", "break_all")   

Func break_all ()
    $checker = Not $checker
EndFunc

Func make_one_one ()
    
    If $checker Then
        MsgBox (0, "one one", "text one one")
    EndIf
    
EndFunc

Func make_one ()
    
    If $checker Then
        MsgBox (0, "one", "text one")
    EndIf
    
    If $checker Then
        make_one_one ()
    EndIf
    
EndFunc


Func general ()
    
    If $checker Then
        make_one ()
    EndIf
    
    If $checker Then    
        general ()
    EndIf
    
EndFunc

general ()

and again question how do the same without

If $checker Then
; some code
    EndIf

[JohnOne]

Very true.

I once went right through a script of mine and added extra code to every function to unwind recursion, I added something like...

If $Pause Then Return SetError(999) at the beginning of every function and checked for it after a return from every function with...

If @Error = 999 Then Return @Error , It was a nightmare, and I wound up wrinting a script to add the code, then the penny dropped and

I just started the first script from scratch .. properly.

[Jos]

Just put in these at strategic places:

If $checker Then Return

.. and as said: do not have a func call itself always unless you really intent recursion and know that it will not go too deep into it.

Work with a loop within the Func in you want the logic in the Func to repeat.

@sergeyWolf

Do you _really_ intend to have general invoke itself, or do you want to the body of general() loop until some condition?

The results are very different!

For instance this is a loop:

Paren(17)
ConsoleWrite(@LF)

Func Paren($n)
    $n = Abs($n)
    While ($n)
        ConsoleWrite("<")
        ConsoleWrite(">")
        $n -= 1
    WEnd
EndFunc

Now this uses recursion (a function invoking itself until some condition):

Global $n = 17

Paren()
ConsoleWrite(@LF)

Func Paren()
    If $n Then
        $n -= 1
        ConsoleWrite("<")
        Paren()
        ConsoleWrite(">")
    EndIf
EndFunc

oh, i see

really **cks

it's seems like butthurt

thnx eveyone anyway

Well, in general this has everything to do with proper program design, not language limitations..

Have fun,

i hoped to find some "magical" options for that or function

not important, i think to use your solution
