Yeah. Only timeout I could find in there was this:BarryG wrote: Thu Feb 27, 2025 1:08 pm Sorry Randy, I was wrong; it's a debugger timeout setting, not a compiler timeout. Been a while since I set it.
If only needed for syntax highlighting or recognize certain library functions, it is best to separate from compiler binary , it is IDE/RDE feature , not a compiler things.NicTheQuick wrote: Thu Feb 27, 2025 11:29 amWithout loading the compiler the IDE can not give proper syntax highlighting or recognize certain library functions, if I remember that right. So the compiler is used to retrieve information about all the available library functions because they are varying from version to version.moricode wrote: Thu Feb 27, 2025 4:45 amwhat is in the behind mechanism and why we need to load compiler every time we open IDE ?
I don't open the IDE unless I intend to run code so I always need the compiler.moricode wrote: Thu Feb 27, 2025 4:45 am what is in the behind mechanism and why we need to load compiler every time we open IDE ?
If you look inside more PB IDE design , it load compiler when open IDE , and then load again compiler when you run code .Randy Walker wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2025 2:56 amI don't open the IDE unless I intend to run code so I always need the compiler.moricode wrote: Thu Feb 27, 2025 4:45 am what is in the behind mechanism and why we need to load compiler every time we open IDE ?
Honestly, How many use the PB IDE as their preferred text editor?
Compilation of the source code is not the opening of the compiler.
so , we do not need opening compiler when open IDE .

compiler only need for compilation , no need for editing.
That's not correct. VSCode also loads compilers or interpreters in the background on certain languages. For example on Python. Without knowing what exact version and virtual environment of Python to load VSCode does not know which modules are available.moricode wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2025 2:40 am If only needed for syntax highlighting or recognize certain library functions, it is best to separate from compiler binary , it is IDE/RDE feature , not a compiler things.
just look at other IDE(code block/VS code) , they don't load compiler, compiler only use when building binary's.
but, but , but PureBasic is NOT Python , we do not follow Python route , PB is more advance , or easier , ahem , more simpler , or any thing else , the IDE of version 5.6 only manage syntax in version 5.6 , nothing unknown to IDE.NicTheQuick wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2025 10:39 am

The compiler is used at startup to communicate with the IDE, passing on information that the IDE does not have, such as the list of functions...moricode wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2025 5:06 am so , we do not need opening compiler when open IDE .
we only need load syntax color rule and load load library function name , then the IDE is working perfectly , why need to load whole giant compiler ?

If the purpose of starting the compiler in standby mode only communicate to IDE and give the IDE FUNCTIONLIST , why would the "ver 6 IDE" or the "author of ver 6 IDE" and realease of "ver 6 IDE" in "ver 6 Purebasic" , doesn't know about the "ver 6 FUNCTIONLIST " ?ChrisR wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2025 4:33 pm
