JassHelper 0.A.2.B - A vJass and Zinc 2 Jass compiler

[Vexorian]

I once solved that problem for somebody else, it turned out some antivirus corrupted pjass.exe, try downloading the newest pjass from its thread and install it in newgen pack's folder.

installed pjass_10j....

...and still getting an error

Hm when I try to use the new "static if" feature it just tells me "syntax error"

ex.:

JASS:

library somelibrary

globals
    private constant boolean     CHARGE = true
endglobals

struct TEST
    method test takes nothing returns nothing
        static if CHARGE then // error
            call DoNothing()
        endif    
    endmethod
endstruct

endlibrary

Just downloaded and copied the new jass helper files into my newGen (as always) but it seems like he doesn't accept them. The "About" debugmsg still tells me that I would have an older version.

Guess u forgot to remove the files out the executeable folder into the main folder.

[Lord_Executor]

k ty this was the prob, could swear it worked in earlier versions, but anyway, tanks!

. or this. are not required anymore to use members. Note that this may cause issues if for some (incredibly weird) reason you try to use global variables from a method of a struct that has variables of the same name. To disable this feature, you can add [noimplicitthis] to jasshelper.conf.

Ehrm,... One question: Why did you do this?

* .pointer has been removed from the syntax for using methods for function interfaces.

So it is?

* You may now also use non-static methods for function interfaces (they are treated as functions that take an extra integer first)

Great! Really thanks. I think a lot of coders waited for this.

Edit:
OH I nearly forgot. Vex, could you please add private and public to the textmacro syntax?

Edit2:
How to point the interface function to the method called test in the instance i? :S

[Vexorian]

It will never happen, textmacros are processed before the library phase.

So what can I do to share a Textmacro in the script? Some macros, such as my Table Storage one, should be applied to a few systems, and I don't want to rename every macro.

You just do? lack of public/private in textmacro declarations actually makes it hard not to share the textmacro.

Ehrm, but its awful. I want to have the textmacro either in all scripts or outside of all. But really, inside of them with a private thing would be great. Because then I can CnP my scripts into my map without worring about textmacro usage.

Oh and one thing though:
What about the "this" / "." thing?
Can I acess to them with

JASS:

struct blah
string String = "Blah"

method test takes nothing returns string
   return String
endmethod

endstruct

And what about this in static methods?

[Vexorian]

Just test the code.

[Earth-Fury]

Any word on when externalblock will get an update? I can release an awesome update to BonusMod when it gets it.

[Vexorian]

from 0 to 48 hours.

[Barade]

Could you maybe improve the syntax check of library requirement cycles if two libraries require each other and make the JassHelper to do not list me nearly 30 libraries which are involved.

[Vexorian]

30 wow, ok then I'll try.

would be nice to have an input to test that prototype limit.
