Code hints for prototypes declared in macros?
Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2018 12:34 pm
Hi All!
Hoping someone can guide me, how can I make code hints? Like where the IDE shows a hint in the status bar showing the arguments.
I make these prototypes in a macro that call dll functions, but there are many, many functions imported with many different declarations!
I really want to get a hint shown in the IDE of the declaration for things, because there are many, many imports to remember, like hundreds!!
Even if I can add a 'manually' by a text list - write a quick parser to , file or something, or there is a trick to writing or commenting in the source that does this? .... or there is something i'm missing? or I use the wrong terminology in the forum searching?
Cheers,
Hippy

Code: Select all
Macro _dq_ ; double quotes
"
EndMacro
mydll = OpenLibrary(mydll_name$)
; functions with arguments
Macro Get_UI_Lib_Func(name, parameters)
PrototypeC name#_Prototype parameters
Global name.name#_Prototype
If IsLibrary(mydll)
name = GetFunction(mydll, _dq_#name#_dq_)
If Not name
Debug("Failed to find '" + _dq_#name#_dq_ +"'")
Else
;Debug _dq_ name parameters _dq_
mydll_API_Coverage + 1
EndIf
Else
Debug("Library not open.") ; Debug "Library not open."
Print("Error, Unable To open " +#mydll_name$)
CallDebugger
End
EndIf
EndMacro
; example usage
Get_UI_Lib_Func(_ReleaseImage,(textureID.l))
Code: Select all
; VVVV Function VVVVVVVV Parameter in brackets
Get_UI_Lib_Func( WindowSizeConstraints, (minW.f, minH.f , maxW.f ,maxH.f , *custom_callback, *custom_callback_data) )
