[PB4.2B2] /COMMENTED compiles and runs?

[maw]

I have to ask here first, because if this is a bug then surely someone would have found it before me?

Take the following code, or any code really:

Code: Select all

MessageRequester("This shouldn't run..", "Should it?")

Save it as test.pb and compile it with pbcompiler test.pb /COMMENTED, it then compiles it, creates purebasic.asm and purebasic.exe and runs purebasic.exe.. I would have thought that with /COMMENTED it would simply create purebasic.asm and not even compile it, and surely not run it?

That's what I would have thought as well, but they said it was supposed to be like that.

Add the /EXE switch and nominate an executable file to be created and it should then not automatically run the program etc.

[maw]

Odd behaviour, but since there is a workaround I'm a happy camper! Thanks srod!!

[srod]

You're welcome.

Just remember to delete the resulting exe lest you fill up your hard drive etc!

Nonsense!! The one who has the most compiled exe files when he dies wins!!

[srod]

If it was the one who had the most unfinished programs lying around their hard drive, then I'd win that one by at least 20000000 miles.

I would give you a run for your money!

That's because you both spend more time here on the forum then you do coding
