[PB4.2B2] /COMMENTED compiles and runs?

I have to ask here first, because if this is a bug then surely someone would have found it before me?
Take the following code, or any code really:
Code: Select all
MessageRequester("This shouldn't run..", "Should it?")
Save it as test.pb and compile it with pbcompiler test.pb /COMMENTED, it then compiles it, creates purebasic.asm and purebasic.exe and runs purebasic.exe.. I would have thought that with /COMMENTED it would simply create purebasic.asm and not even compile it, and surely not run it?

That's what I would have thought as well, but they said it was supposed to be like that.

Add the /EXE switch and nominate an executable file to be created and it should then not automatically run the program etc.

Odd behaviour, but since there is a workaround I'm a happy camper! Thanks srod!!

You're welcome.
Just remember to delete the resulting exe lest you fill up your hard drive etc!

Nonsense!! The one who has the most compiled exe files when he dies wins!!

If it was the one who had the most unfinished programs lying around their hard drive, then I'd win that one by at least 20000000 miles.

That's because you both spend more time here on the forum then you do coding
