compile to obj

I now have one large source with many reuseable procedures.

Can I place these reuseable procedures into 1 file compile it to an e.g. an 'obj' file and then linking this obj with the remaining source.

What I want is that not the whole source must be compiled each time for procedures that don't change.

Has someone experience with this?

Why don't you make a DLL with those?

I don't understand... isn't that similar to just IncludeFiling the procedure
source code? Why not just do that?

I still don't understand... what's the advantage of having it precompiled instead
of just compiling it with your project? Both ways will still produce the same
ASM output in your final executable...

I think if he wants such thing, try VC++ instead, the use of .obj is very tricky, not for the high-level language users.

Or, split the source then "includefile" back......

The manual says: the compiler is able to compile 300000 lines per minute. So who need something pre-compiled...

So I have to wait for over 3 Minutes to have my latest program compiled.

Of course PB is very fast but if you really have a big program, it could be made faster with pre-compiled files.

I think I will never have a real use for this - my biggest PB-Program has 500 lines... My biggest project ever had 1600 lines (Blitz Basic on Amiga). And with that I only had to wait for about 5 seconds.

That's very true... when I need to compile an app on a 486 laptop it can take
forever, so I now agree that Cor does have a good point about pre-compiled files.

It's the same as having precompiled files...
