Reference parameters are not allowed with RFC - abap

Can anyone advise me on this error?

Follow #Jagger's advice and make your module not RFC or make all your parameters pass by value (without reference), it's the column with the heading 'Pa...'.
In RFC modules only TYPE and LIKE typing is allowed, references are prohibited.

use of undeclared identifier 'git_diff_perfdata' with libgit2

I'm trying to write some code that uses git_diff_perfdata from the Libgit2 library.
git_diff_perfdata s;
However, when compiling on my Mac I get the error:
use of undeclared identifier 'git_diff_perfdata'
My understanding is that Libgit2 is meant to be used exclusively through the inclusion of git2.h. Is that correct?
git_diff_perfdata is defined in sys/diff.h and used in status.h
Should I be including sys/diff.h directly. If so, why? Alternatively, what errors might I be making? Looking at the header code I'm unable to see how sys/diff.h is included through anything that is included by git2.h.
Additionally, from what I can tell git_diff_perfdata isn't meant to be an opaque data type (i.e. only the pointer is defined).
I'm using the code downloaded from:
https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/archive/v0.26.0.zip
The headers in sys are part of the public API, but they're a bit lower level. You can think of them as internal implementation details that have been made public because they might be useful to application developers. If you want to use them, include them directly.

WebStorm and jsdoc3, defining allowed parameters doesn't work?

Based on the documentation, the JSDoc implementation in WebStorm seems to be very limited. Is there anyway to extend it? I can't find any plugins.
Specifically, I would like "allowed parameters" to work (as implemented 2014-04-11)
they do work - if the argument doesn't match the value specified in #param annotation, WebStorm shows type mismatch warning:
But parameter hint shows expected parameter type, not value

libgit2 GIT_BUF_INIT undeclared; where should it be declared?

I'm running through the libgit2 sample code for getting the content of blobs, and I've hit a problem with the line:
git_buf filtered_content = GIT_BUF_INIT;
I get error C2065: 'GIT_BUF_INIT': undeclared identifier, which makes sense, because I can't find this defined in any of the included header files. As nobody seems to have asked this question before I get the strong feeling I'm missing something obvious. Any ideas on what I need to do to use GIT_BUF_INIT?
That's declared inside the library because it references an internal buffer. You should zero the structure as usual for C.
If the examples contain GIT_BUF_INIT they were probably extracted from the tests and we missed that it's not available outside.

How the EXPORTING method parameters passed by value?

I'm wondering about the definition of a call-by-value EXPORTING argument of an ABAP method call.
The SAP Help Portal states that EXPORTING parameters can be defined call-by-value (and call by reference). It does not give a precise definition of how this parameter type is handled. Instead, it states
For precise details of the relevant ABAP statements, refer to the
corresponding keyword documentation in the ABAP Editor.
Now, the ABAP Keyword Documentation of the SAP editor does not mention pass-by-value for EXPORTING. (It does mention pass-by-value for IMPORTING and CHANGING).
I can guess the meaning of pass-by-value EXPORTING. But I want to read the definition. From FORM/PERFORM, I know that details can be subtle. Could you point me to an official description of this case?
I'm not sure in what way the details can be subtle even when using FORMs - but anyway, it's in the documentation:
There are two ways in which parameters can be passed: pass by
reference and pass by value. Pass by value is selected in the Function
Builder by selecting pass by value, and in the above syntax, differs
from pass by reference by the specification of VALUE( ).
In pass by reference, the formal parameter points directly to the actual parameter, so that changes to the formal parameters have an
immediate effect on the actual parameter.
In pass by value, when the function module is called, the formal parameter is created as a copy of the actual parameter (in IMPORTING
and CHANGING parameters), or initial (in EXPORTING parameters) in
the stack. In CHANGING and EXPORTING parameters, the formal
parameter is copied to the actual parameter when returning from the
function module.

Disallowing duplicate variable names in different scopes in VB6

When I have a variable declared globally, I can re-use the same variable-name at function-level, without the compiler complaining about it.
Is there some way to disable this (similar to Option Explicit)?
No there is not.
The operation is perfectly valid and you can still access both by fully qualifying the reference, but by default it will try and access the closest in scope.
