SETLOCAL removes Aliases and Functions

[Joe Caverly]

Back in;

TCC  18.00.32 x64   Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7601]

when I type SETLOCAL at the command prompt, I still had all of my ALIASes and FUNCTIONs.

Now, in;

TCC  22.00.32 x64   Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7601]

when I type SETLOCAL at the command prompt, I loose all of my ALIASes and FUNCTIONS.

When I type ENDLOCAL at the command prompt, they return.

Is there a setting that has changed from v18 to v22?

Everything is as it should be when used in a .BTM file;

@setlocal
@echo off
alias
function
endlocal

...that is, I do not loose my ALIAS and FUNCTIONs.

Are you using global or local aliases? Global alias handling in SETLOCAL was changed in v22 (see "What's New in Version 22" in the help).

After reading about the GLOBALLISTS option of SETLOCAL, doing;

setlocal globallists

...SETLOCAL now works as it used to in v18.

Thanks!
