PureBasic Forums - English

@Fred,
It will be great if the syntax check is configurable (at least off/on).

Reason:
So each advanced user can add new PureBasic keywords like the "structure pointer syntax" on this thread:

Are you serious ?

Disabling syntax check would be useful: We could just write what we want, and the compiler
compiles it to what he wants.
Compilation time would be much faster too, without the syntax checks!

Maybe it is more an IDE error as a new feature:

What I mean:
I have written advanced syntax on a PB source (like the pointer structure as return value)
With the command tool settings I try to replace this (of course) unknown syntax for PureBasic before the compiler ist starting.
But I got always an syntax check error (I thought the syntax check is on the 'temp' file (PB_EditorOutput.pb
) which is send to the compiler (not the one which is on the PB IDE)
Checking the temp file too: Nothing is changed on the PB_EditorOutput.pb

Using as decribed on the online help:

Now we are getting to the core of the matter.
In order to see how this can be done, you might want to look at my preprocessor LPP (there you'll find the source code and the appropriate settings for usage as IDE tool). The preprocessor changes your code before it is passed to the compiler, so that the compiler won't raise a syntax error, of course.
(LPP works fine also with the current PB version 5.10 Beta 7 -- tested on Windows XP x86.)

No need for a new feature, and no IDE error.

Thnaks. I will try to configure the tool again.
It seems it is more my mistake. Sorry.

/Edit: At home it works correct. Sorry.
