compilation feature request.
« on: August 18, 2020, 09:25:02 PM »
 I would like to suggest a switch to display information about the compilation process, one that shows at what point of the compilation we are, what is the compiler doing and what was the last thing it succeeded doing.

 This way we could get a better idea of what part of our code is Oxygen having trouble with in case of a GPF... or we could give better hints to you Charles about what is failing on Oxygen without having to provide the full code for you to experiment with it.

 Or... if there is already a switch for this purpose, what is it?  ;D

 I have had no luck splitting my code in several parts... so, i am still clueless why nothing is happening when my code doesnt complain but also no executable is produced or any errors are returned.

 Thanks!

I'm always looking out for useful diagnostics. The problem is often producing too much data.

I suggest starting with an empty DLL, then gradually adding code bottom-up.

Self-compiling is not trivial and requires some intensive tracing to isolate bugs using every trick in the book.
