- do you really think that the current Rev / MC IDEs allow us to
maintain &
debug scripts with hundreds or thousands of lines ? Of course not... But
Salut, JB,
And my I say that I agree wholehearted with every word you wrote...until you ended with the statements I included above:
1. The stack script of Serendipity Library has 4,566 lines as of the latest update.
Ditto here. I have a commercial application condensed into one big 8,000+ line script. Rev doesn't seem to have any trouble with it. It runs without error for months at a time. It also uses sockets for all of it's communications (it's a web app). Runs under Rev 2.0, often with 5+ copies running on an XServe.
For large scripts, I usually:
1) Break them into smaller scripts (duh- but sometimes an advantage, sometimes not)
2) Put my own marker functions in (i.e. an empty function "UTILITY_FUNCTIONS" before all of my utility functions)
That's about it. They seem to work fine... I've even edited them through a b&w Timbuktu session, while the software was running, with the debugger.
I'm sure there could be problems I haven't seen, but it seems pretty capable to me.
FWIW.
Brian
