Hello Clint,
Unfortunately, I didn't managed to build my lovely program with -C option. I got the following (that's the end of long output):
Parsing xm.icn: ..........................................................................
Parsing sort.icn: .....
Parsing process.icn: ......................................................
Parsing options.icn: .
Parsing regexp.icn: ....................................
Parsing futils.icn: .................
Parsing escape.icn: ...
Parsing asort.icn: ............
Parsing xmprocs.icn: ...............
Parsing unicodes.icn: ....................
Parsing htmlutils.icn: ...........
Parsing graphprocs.icn: ........
Parsing c:\work\unicon\bin\../ipl/gprocs\graphics.icn: .........ca-add-link: "c:\\work\\unicon\\bin\\../ipl/gprocs\\graphics.icn" not ready.
I don't understand what does it mean - "not ready". Could you please dechipher this message. I have "link graphics" in my code and I sure that it is already compiled. Without option -C all is built fine.
As for option -fs, in my humble opinion it should be always. As I understand if I have some procedures in code which are not called they will be removed during compilation as redundant. But it's not my case, I need such procedures definitly, as my program interprets and runs "on-the-fly" scripts written in simplified Icon/Unicon and these scripts can include any available procedural calls. It's slightly extended version of an approach firstly implemented by Stephen Wampler in IPL's icalc.icn.
Maybe you can advice some more advanced approach to me? I will be very appreciated to you.
Sincerely,
Sergey Logichev
PS. I was very happy to see option -help for uncion! That's really great! Does it exist more complete description of each option in docs?

Dear Uniconers,,Lots of exciting work is getting done by the Unicon community right now. I hope you are having a blast.Just to let you know: after several of you reported programs that would run under unicon -C but only if the -fs option was used, I went ahead and asked Ken Walker if there was any reason not to turn -fs on all the time, other than the slightly larger code size it would entail. He indicated that actually using string invocation (the feature -fs was written to support) reduces the effectiveness of type inferencing, but that leaving -fs on was fine if we don't mind the code size.So, I turned on -fs automatically if -C is used in unicon, in our svn repository. It allows a number of Unicon programs to compile or run correctly that otherwise do not. But, if you encounter any problems due to it, I want to hear about them and could change the default back if it has any really bad side effects. If you are using a binary distribution or building from a .zip this change won't affect you for now.Cheers,Clint------------------------------------------------------------------------------
