Works like a freakin champ over here..
Maybe you are launching from inside the IDE ? Cause then it would spit
the file out in your compilers directory. Else you are not saving your
file before trying to convert it to a lib ?
TailBite Rulez!
Code: Select all
ProcedureDLL.l testingLoops(filename.s)
ret = 0
If CreateFile(0,filename)
For a = 1 To 1000
WriteStringN("Procedure Test" + Str(a) + "()")
WriteStringN(" b = 0")
WriteStringN("EndProcedure")
Next a
CloseFile(0)
ret = 1
EndIf
ProcedureReturn ret
EndProcedure
USAGE:
Code: Select all
testingLoops("testResults.pb")
End

i just want create un big file ( a= 1 to 1000) => "TestTailbite1.pb".Tailbite don't work with big file.
if i create a small file ( a=1 to 10 ) => "TestTailbite1.pb", tailbite work fine.
Sorry for my poor english

i try this code with
a = 1 to 1000 , then i use tailbite with
TestTailbite1.pb , i got an error .
Then i try with
a = 1 to 10 , and all is ok , no error , and the library is create.
I suppose tailbite don't like lot of ( many ) lines ?
Code: Select all
If CreateFile(0,"TestTailbite1.pb")
For a= 1 To 1000
WriteStringN("Procedure Test" + Str(a) + "()")
WriteStringN(" b = 0")
WriteStringN("EndProcedure")
Next a
CloseFile(0)
EndIf
Ah I see I think..
Change to this:
WriteStringN("ProcedureDLL Test" + Str(a) + "()")
TailBite Procedures all have to be ProcedureDLL .. that is, if you want them
to be accessable from externally (extern).

The latest builds of TailBite have severe problems.
I have a file called test.pb and when I try an run TailBite on it I get this:
---------------------------
TailBite Error
---------------------------
polib:
POLIB: fatal error: File not found: '‰'.
The pipe has been ended.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Now if I copy the contents of the file and save it as test2.pb then try TailBite again...
It works fine.
What's going on here? The data is identical, only the filename has changed.
By the way, if I look at the temp data created on the first file that fails, the last couple of lines in TestObjFiles.txt reads:
TBTemp\Functions\TestShared.obj
TBTemp\Functions\Shared\Test_End.obj
ë$
Tailbite has added garbage at the end.
Hmm, very strange.
Better take a look El_Choni
ps. If I use TailBite v0.7 on either of these files, they both work fine.

LOL... looks like NoahPhense has elected himself official spokesperson for TailBite
Anyhow, my message was for you El_Choni.
I'm hoping you see it and get a head start on the problem before I bump into you on IRC (and spend a few more hours in a debugging session).
It is very strange that TailBite sees 2 files differently, when they contain the exact same data.

Rant & Rave (revised)
Sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes.
I agree that it's not bug free. But I will say that if you read this page and
several pages back, you will find that the user not knowing what they are
doing creates a lot of these errors. For example, the issue above, with
the 1000 procedures, they should be ProcedureDLL’s.
No offense, hence my name, Noah Phense..
What gets my goat is people who come in and say, “TB is broken. This
wont work and that won’t work.â€

I'm afraid TailBite is doing some wrong file operations when creating the objfiles.txt file. Again (tsk, tsk, naughty boy!). I'll check the code and try to convince my brother that I need to install and use PB in his computer, and he'll have to go play Battlefield somewhere else XD
Thank you guys for your help and patience, you're being very helpful with your reports, and sorry for the problems that have arisen lately with TB

Oh, and before building libraries, please learn to code DLL’s first.
* A GOOD rule of thumb, is if your app doesn't work as a DLL, then it will
not work as a library.
tailbite Help say that :
You can use normal Procedure's for internal library use. Executables that use your library will only include the functions that are used in the code, and only the internal functions used by those functions. To achieve this, the 'PureBasic.asm' file has to be splitted and compiled into several OBJ files:
i create a file just for testing tailbite it , not for making a library !!
if i replace Procedure by ProcedureDll , i get the same message !!

Actually comtois is right. In a DLL you can use normal "procedure" if the procedure is local. If it needs to be accesible by other programs, then "proceduredll". But i can not tell if you need at least one "proceduredll". Otherwise the dll could not be used for anything.

Ok, today is the day that people get to learn how I acquired the nickname
Noah Phense. It stands for No Offense. So, if you cannot take advice, or
personal criticism, then please, stop reading now.
No, you cannot have a DLL or a LIB without a ProcedureDLL. (fact)
Here's my functional code to back up the things *I'm* talking about.
Just create a regular exe with this, and then execute it. Don’t execute
stuff like this from inside the IDE, unless your looking for problems, then
by all means, go ahead. Format your harddrive while your at it.
Code: Select all
Procedure Create1000(filename.s)
If CreateFile(0,filename)
For a = 1 To 1000
WriteStringN("Procedure Test" + Str(a) + "()")
WriteStringN(" b = 0")
WriteStringN("EndProcedure")
Next a
CloseFile(0)
ret = 1
Else
Goto getout
EndIf
EndProcedure
Procedure AppendFile(FileName.s, String.s)
If OpenFile(99, FileName)
FileSeek(Lof())
WriteStringN(String)
CloseFile(99)
EndIf
EndProcedure
Create1000("test.pb")
AppendFile("test.pb", "ProcedureDLL.l tTest(a.l, b.l)")
AppendFile("test.pb", " c.l = a + b")
AppendFile("test.pb", " ProcedureReturn c")
AppendFile("test.pb", "EndProcedure")
getout:
End
If you used your “cut and pasteâ€
