Salil,
You seem to forget that AFL codes are much shorter than C++ /
Delphi / VB
codes. They have a few hundreds (rarely thousands) of
lines.
The features you mention are targeted to write big
programs
like AmiBroker (that has millions of lines).
So although some of them are nice they are not
essential,
and not that important as the ones I listed (especially for
the beginners)
Be fair and admit that source control is NEVER used to write
AFL formulas.
Source control is needed only if you work
in a GROUP of developers working together
and sharing sources simulatenously
on SINGLE BIG project.
Lack of it can not be compared to lack of context help, or
auto-completion.
It is nice to have a car with air-condition but first you have
to have the engine and
steering wheel.
I consider most the features you listed as minor compared to
those mentioned by me
and already available in AmiBroker.
A few exceptions are 4 and 8 that will appear sometime
in (not too distant) future.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Tomasz,
If you use external programmers' editor you
gain:
1) Infinite level of 'undo/redo'.
2) Automatic or timed back-up of your code
3) 'Source-code control' of your code
4) Automatic intelligent indenting
5) 'Regular-expression' search-n-replace.
6) Incremental search
7) Column copy-n-paste
8) Multiple windows over the same program and
multiple windows over different programs
9) Most important, you get to be in the environment that you are
most comfortable with.
(Be it 'vi' or 'emacs' or 'TextPad' or 'ConText' or
....)
Lots of editors allow programming of the syntax hiliting as
well.
>>I see no good reason to switch to external editor
and loose all these goodies, therefore right now I
don't support this idea.<<
As the programming needs grow in the future, perhaps you will
and perhaps you may.

Hello,
If you use external editor you loose:
- automatic syntax highlighting for all AFL functions and
all loaded plugins
(although some external editors have definable
syntax hi-lite but it forces you
to update syntax definiiton file with EACH
BETA release or each load of new plugin.
Built-in AFL editor automatically reacts on
all new functions added and automatically
recognizes functions provided by all loaded
plugins)
- AFL "Intellisense" technology (auto-completion and
parameter information)
- automatic context sensitive function reference (F1 over
function name)
I see no good reason to switch to external editor and
loose all these goodies,
therefore right now I don't support this
idea.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Tomasz,
As I wrote below ===> For
every execution I was adding a space in the script containing #include
statement. But after about 15 to 20 times, not
matter how many spaces I added, no matter how many trivial
_N("Hello World!"); I added, the #include file
was not getting re-read from the disk.
Once I even changed the name of the #include to a non-existing
file. Quite correctly AmiBroker did not include the
non-existing #include file. Immediately afterwards I changed
the #include file name to existing file, but still AmiBroker did not
re-read the #include file.
BTW, I understand why AmiBroker avoids re-reading. However,
using external programmers' editors for code development, rather than
using AmiBroker's internal editor has its own advantages, evenif such
development and subsequent inclusion of this code in AmiBroker via
#include goes against the idea of the intended use of #include from
AmiBroker's perspective.
(ORACLE's SQL*Plus has a nice built-in work-around. It has
facility where the developer can set text editor to any one that's
installed. ORACLE invokes this editor in edit mode and re-reads the
edited code in execution mode.)

Salil,
You must CHANGE the formula in AA. If you add a space
and delete it immediatelly afterwards - in fact there is NO
CHANGE.
So use either one action or another but not
both!

Subject: RE: [amibroker] The
#include re-read work-around ... Stopped working !
Dingo,
I was developing script for last 1/2 hour. For every execution I
was adding a space in the script containing #include statement.
I must have executed it 15 to 20 times. And now looks like AmiBroker
is no longer re-reading the #include file, evenif I am adding /
deleting spaces and adding deleting some trivial strings. I saved and
re-loaded the 'Formula' file a couple of time also. Looks like
the work-around has stopped working.
Any other work-around short of exiting AmiBroker and invoking it
again ?

Oh ... okay.
Thanks for the work-around. Just adding a space forced the
re-reading.

is "by design". You need to change the formula in the AA
window (add a space) or reload the formula to get it to re-read
the Included file.

<FONT

It looks as if the #include file is not getting
re-read from the for every execution (invocation) of the program
that contains the #include statement. It looks
like a bug.
Create a .AFL file with text (say)
"Hello World!";
And include this above file using #include in (say)
the 'Guru Formula' and get the commentary. It will
contain the string Hello World!
Now change the disk file without exiting
AmiBroker to contain the string following string
and save it to disk.
"Hello World! Hello World!";
Flip to 'Guru' Formula and click 'Apply' ... the
string that's show in the commentary still is a single Hello
World! rather than double Hello World!
