Tailbite fails to compile when the project imports a PB library. It will still fail even if the code is commented out.

Tailbite leaves a copy of the project source code in the temp directory after creating the library.

PureBasic_TempFile0, PureBasic_TempFile1 .. etc

TailBite does not generate these files it´s a PB thing

I'm getting this error again. I got it to go away once but now it's back. I reinstalled Tailbite but it still screams.

Code: Select all

TailBite Error

The help file mentions that this function is used from a TB debug library. No libraries are installed by tailbite and I can't find any in the src.pack.

I tried to use the libraries from the really old version on your site but tailbite won't let me compile the example with those either. It gives me this error

fixed ! You have to reinstall TailBite to get the TB_Debugger installed, or copy the file manually.

Thank you very much, ABBKlaus!

I created a special function for reporting errors but it doesn't work. Is this a bug or something that just isn't possible with the way TailBite and the compiler handle errors?

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL ErrorMsg(msg.s)
  ; do nothing if debugger is not present
EndProcedure

ProcedureCDLL ErrorMsg_DEBUG(msg.s)
  TB_DebugError(@msg.s)
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL LibFunction()
	ErrorMsg("Hello!")
EndProcedure

I can't do this either

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL InitGlobals_Init()
   Global Error
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL LibFunction()
   ; cause an error
   Error=1
EndProcedure

ProcedureCDLL LibFunction_DEBUG()
   LibFunction()
   MessageRequester("","1")
   If Error
      MessageRequester("","2")
      TB_DebugError(@"Debug!")
   EndIf
EndProcedure

This works but cannot be compiled to an exe

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL ErrorMsg(msg.s)
  ; do nothing if debugger is not present
EndProcedure

ProcedureCDLL ErrorMsg_DEBUG(msg.s)
  TB_DebugError(@msg.s)
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL RuntimeError(msg.s,debugger)
	If debugger
		CallCFunctionFast(@ErrorMsg_DEBUG(),msg.s)
	Else
		MessageRequester("Error","Error message here!")
	EndIf
EndProcedure

This erroneously jumps to Main_Init() instead of ErrorMsg2() for some reason.

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL Main_Init()
	messagerequester("Error","Huh?")
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL ErrorMsg(msg.s)
  ; do nothing if debugger is not present
EndProcedure

ProcedureCDLL ErrorMsg_DEBUG(msg.s)
  TB_DebugError(@msg.s)
EndProcedure

ProcedureC ErrorMsg2(msg.s)
  TB_DebugError(@msg.s)
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL RuntimeError(msg.s,debugger)
	If debugger
		CallCFunctionFast(@ErrorMsg2(),msg.s)
	Else
		MessageRequester("Error","Error message here!")
	EndIf
EndProcedure

you should read the manual

http://www.tailbite.com/help/Reference/ ... tions.html

I did. I'm assuming that this fails because it's calling ErrorMsg() by its address which skips over ErrorMsg_DEBUG even when the debugger is present, right?

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL ErrorMsg(msg.s)
  ; do nothing if debugger is not present
EndProcedure

ProcedureCDLL ErrorMsg_DEBUG(msg.s)
  TB_DebugError(@msg.s)
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL LibFunction()
   ErrorMsg("Hello!")
EndProcedure

Did you compiled this to a lib ?

Posted: **Tue Dec 25, 2007 12:27 am**

I compiled it to a lib, yes.

There is also a bug where if I declare a procedure but not as a 'ProcedureDLL' the command hint will still appear at the bottom of the IDE.

Posted: **Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:52 am**

@Mistrel,

your calling the debug-function out of scope, this won´t work !

After the PureBasic debugger calls the debug function (MyDiv_DEBUG in the example), it calls the original function, MyDiv().

In your example you are calling LibFunction , the compiler did not find any LibFunction_DEBUG , so there is not debugger message send !

There is also a bug where if I declare a procedure but not as a 'ProcedureDLL' the command hint will still appear at the bottom of the IDE.

How can that be a bug of TailBite ?

What I meant so say what that if I declare a procedure inside of a Tailbite library as Procedure and not ProcedureDLL the command will appear as a hint at the bottom of the IDE when the library is included by the compiler. PB will error on compile because this procedure isn't really available.

i havent fiddled much with Tailbite yet but i assume it generates the #PBIMPORT tag even for the normal procedures.

in C++ theese are defined in comments:

Code: Select all

#PBIMPORT:Foo_Functionblah(*abc, b.l)

arr once am done with my far too long queue i am gonna give this a whirl.
