Hello!
I am sure some of you are using the PBCompiler with the /COMMENTED switch to produce the PureBasic.asm file. However, I am creating a tool which allows viewing the ASM output, but I have a minor problem. Everytime I run the PBCompiler with the /COMMENTED switch, it creates the PureBasic.asm file, but then it executes the executable. How do I run the PBCompiler with the /COMMENTED switch WITHOUT executing the program?
There seems to be no switch for this.
Thanks!

One way would be start the compiler in standby-mode and set the NOEXECUTE-flag on compiling. Another way would be using the api-hook lib to hook CreateProcess_() to filter the Purebasic[...].exe.

Do you have an example to show how would I use CreateProcess_() with this? Thanks!

Yes this is very annoying.

I agree. If I remember right, the compiler of PB 3.94 didn't launch the program if you used the /COMMENTED switch. But I am maybe wrong.
However, if there is a solution to use CreateProcess_() to filter the PBCompiler that it won't execute anything it would be very appreciated if someone could give an example.
thanks

Call it with the /exe switch.

The /EXE switch doesn't help at all.

Yes it does, you just need to specify a filename.

Ok, is this command right?
shell> PBCompiler.exe MyFile.pb /COMMENTED /EXE MyExe.exe

A nice program, but looks awful. I hate that skin. I am creating a tool BTW, not french software
(EDIT: Now I see PureASM is also a tool)
Sorry for the rough comments, but the "IDE" of PureASM looks pretty awful and the text is a bit hard to read.
