Nowhere in our build scripts will you find something that
creates a single executable from hilite.js and node. This
is just not the case.
What you have is that hilite.js is a Javascript program,
and node is the executable, binary program, that loads
hilite.js, and interprets it.
As I said, in no circumstances do we link our C code to
the code of node.
When hilite.js runs, it is _always_ via a call like:
<<
node hilite.js [PARAMETERS]
>>
, and the C program hilite.c is just a launcher that starts the
command above.
=> Thus, in no circumstances do we combine hilite.js and node
into a single executable, they always remain two separate entities.
=> In this precise context, if doubts remain, could you explain
exactly where would be the problem ?
If, hopefully, on the other hand, my explanations clarified the
issue, I would be more than happy to move on ;-) ...
