Hi,

here is a little tool to make resident files by ease. First you have to create an executable from this code. Afterwards please add an entry in the tools menu which points to the executable and set %FILE as argument. By running this tool, the current source file will be compiled thru the resident maker and a *.res file will be saved in the resident folder. To let the created or changed resident take effect, you have at least to restart the compiler or restart the PB IDE. That's all.

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit

Define.s src, ext, nam, res, path, cmd, arg, out

#Title = "Resident-Creator"

;check if the filename was handed over
If CountProgramParameters() <> 1
  MessageRequester(#Title, "Use %FILE as argument.")
Else
  
  ;get src filename
  src = ProgramParameter()
  
  ;make resident name
  ext = "." + GetExtensionPart(src)
  nam = ReplaceString(GetFilePart(src), ext, ".res")
  
  ;OS relevant stuff
  CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Windows
    #Option = "/RESIDENT"
    #Separator = "\"
    #Residents = "Residents"
  CompilerElse
    #Option = "-r"
    #Separator = "/"
    #Residents = "residents"
    nam = LCase(nam)
  CompilerEndIf
  
  ;delete existing resource name
  res = #PB_Compiler_Home + #Residents + #Separator + nam
  If FileSize(res) >= 0 And Not DeleteFile(res)
    MessageRequester(#Title, "The Resident-File could not be deleted!")
  Else
    
    ;create startup parameters
    path = #PB_Compiler_Home + "compilers" + #Separator
    cmd = path + "pbcompiler"
    arg = #DQUOTE$ + src + #DQUOTE$ + " " + #Option + " " + #DQUOTE$ + res + #DQUOTE$
    
    ;compile
    Define p = RunProgram(cmd, arg, path, #PB_Program_Hide | #PB_Program_Open | #PB_Program_Read)
    If IsProgram(p)
      While ProgramRunning(p)
        If AvailableProgramOutput(p)
          out.s + ReadProgramString(p) + #CRLF$
        EndIf
      Wend
      CloseProgram(p)
    EndIf
    
    ;show output message
    MessageRequester(#Title, out)
    
  EndIf
  
EndIf

Thanks!
Maybe add a few more lines if overwriting an existing residents file?

Help wrote:/IGNORERESIDENT "Filename": Doesn't load the specified resident file when the compiler starts. It's mostly useful when updating a resident which already exists, so it won't load it.

You need admin rights to write in these folders, now youve got virtualized

This link might help to find your residents :

Hello everyone,

Since I need something to create some resident files I have reworked the original code. Apparently the only way to use custom structure such as Vector2, Vector3, Vector4, Matrix22, Matrix33 and Matrix44 across many modules is to have them compiled as a resident file.

I forget to mention that :

Without using a common Module

Without Including the same file in every module even with XInclude

OK my bad !

Great when we have a huge list of constants
