Autoload Modules

[jassing]

It would be nice to standardize on a file extension (ie: .pbm for purebasic module)
And when you issue UseModule MyModule
if mymodule is not already defined, the compiler looks for a file "MyModule.pbm" and includes it auto-magically, before actually acting on the "useModule" command.

Could you compile a macro as resident file, so you can use that feature now?

Code: Select all

Macro DQ
    "
EndMacro

Macro ImportModule(name) ; include and use module
    XIncludeFile #PB_Compiler_Home + "modules/" + DQ#name#DQ + ".pbm"
    UseModule name    
EndMacro

Macro LoadModule(name)   ; include module
    XIncludeFile #PB_Compiler_Home + "modules/" + DQ#name#DQ + ".pbm"
EndMacro

Macro Include(name)      ; include .pbi
    XIncludeFile #PB_Compiler_Home + "includes/" + DQ#name#DQ + ".pbi"
EndMacro


ImportModule(fileModule)

LoadModule(windowModule)

Include(gDrawing)

@Danilo: Thanks for this macro.
