Would it be possible to ask for the insert command (inserting other scripts into current script) to be added to the features for the next release? It is something we are using really frequently at the moment with the myriad of files...
Thanks

I am not familiar with your request, but could it take the form of:

Link with:
slink64 @load_list.txt

Where load_list.txt could look like:
lo main.obj
lo sub1.obj
@load_parta.txt
@load_partb.txt
@load_libraries.txt
map plot.map
file plot.exe

If this is the functionality you are suggesting, it could be useful

Alternatively we could have a library/archive manager for slink64 and so have:
le \libraries\liba.lib
etc

Your suggestion does look good. perhaps even both ?

It is already possible to provide an "inf" file on the SLINK64 command line.

Within a Fortran program you can use

INCLUDE "filename"

What is the context of this request?

Paul,

The two alternatives I have outlined could improve SLINK64.

1) Is there a timeline for creating/supporting .lib files with slink64 ? (or have I missed that it is already available ?)
2) The idea of @file inside the "inf" file does have some merit, especially if .lib files are a way off. This could be an easy patch, which would provide a similar functionality to .lib, especially if @tree_name is supported.

I will add these two suggestions to the wish list. The wish list doesn't have an associated public time line.

As an alternative to a lib, I have suggested creating an obj file from a master source file containing only INCLUDE statements.

Sorry, what I meant was something like this

Quote:

archive
map
insert w_objs.txt
lo app_main.dll

;exportall
file llib.dll


where archive creates a lib file (together with the dll), and insert appends another script file.

Thanks

One way to do that might be to use a resource script.

You might be able to use the SRC compiler with a script containing the line

ID RCDATA "filename"

You may need to find the value of RCDATA. ID could be a number the that you choose. I have not tried this so it may not work.

How exactly make 64bit OBJ file with SRC?

Before i used command
SRC file.rc

File.rc contained statements exactly like in RESOURCES

Pie01 icon resource\icons\Pie01.ico

etc...

Right now RESOURCES command does not work if compile each file separately and then link them using SLINK64. Just use SRC old way makes 32bit OBJ and linker does not accept it

Use SRC to create a res file with the option /r.
See the notes on porting to 64 bits.

Thanks for the hint, problem solved. I am sure it would help to make a note in this Porting 64 Guide that /r creates not OBJ file like with 32bits but RES file.

Paul,

My program development approach is based on using .lib files, where slink(64) commands like the following make developing new programs very easy:
le \clearwin\graphlib.f95\graphlib.lib
le \clearwin\clearlib.dev\crtlib.lib
le \clearwin\plotlib.f95\plotlib.lib
le \clearwin\saplib.mem\saplib.lib
le \clearwin\iolib.f95\iolib.lib
map saplot.map
file saplot.exe

Without "le" I need better diagnostics to help develop the "lo" list.
So I would vote for slink64 being able to both create .lib files and then use them. ( Is there a problem with this approach in 64-bit that I don't understand ? )

There are alternatives, such as loading everything, or moving to modules with CONTAINS, but I find the old .lib way much easier.

Is this yet another coding approach where I need to change ?

John

John

My understanding is that there is no particular difficulty in providing this facility. It's just one of many tasks waiting to be done.
