OMIT() Directive

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

How about an OMIT() directive for your script?

I think it would be good for testing and more. I was looking for it when I
was playing with the block of code for manifest embedding and code signing.

I'm sure you can do this in SB:

IF(1=2)
END

I.e. you use an IF statement with a condition that is always going to
be false to exclude code you don't want to execute.

I think what you describe would only evaluate at runtime.
If one wanted to omit a block of code for compile-time stuff like
code-signing, I think you'd need to use compiler directives.

#const $MYFAKEVAR$="1"
#ifconst $MYFAKEVAR$="2"
! begin block of code to omit or process
#embed Vista manifest
#code-sign
#whatever

#end

Yep, same thing.

Lynn,

Exactly what Jane and Arnór said.

And of course, you can use the new #ifcompvar conditional directive to let
compiler variables control the compilation process.

For example:

#ifcompvar [SB_RELEASEID] Equals "Full" Then
! Do actions for the full version
#end

#ifcompvar [SB_RELEASEID] Equals "Demo" Then
! Do actions for the demo version
#end

Thanks Friedrich, Jane and Arnor.

Got it but still think it would be a nice feature on the Menu along with
