Is there somewhere a dbpro multithread compiler? My project is getting very big now (65k lines), and the official compiler, as works with 1 cpu core only, needs almost 3 minutes to compile everytime, which is very compromising as it slows down the developement as hell.
My laptop has an intel i7 quadcore, so if a multithread dbpro comliper exists I could do the job 4 times faster.

I am amazed you managed to compile 65k lines in 3 minutes lol.

I do not know of any way to speed up compile times without splitting the project in two or more executables (EG: server/client) or cutting down the length of code by using more scripting features and database features.

I think I read in one of the FPS Creator source files that you can speed up compile times (and increase FPS) by going to the Compiler directory, opening setup.ini, and changing 'RemoveSafetyCode' and 'SafeArrays' to Yes and No respectively - not sure how much it actually helps, but hopefully a little

The code never bothered me anyway...

mmmm and what will brake this? If we could know what these 2 functions do we could decide if doing that or not

I have about 30k code lines - its take 30 sec to compile .
I dont know how to decrease it - every global array or function
increases it a bit . I use synergy editor v1.1 . It have
"precompiler list" Maybe you know how to used it? Maybe it's usable to precompile parts of the code ?

I've had 'RemoveSafteyCode' set to Yes for ages now, honestly haven't noticed any new bugs or problems - setting SafeArrays to No is a little more annoying though - If you screw up with arrays (like trying to read element -1), instead of being helpful and giving you an error message, you instead get an 'Application has stopped working' crash - not so good for diagnosing stuff, but if you're not using lots of arrays, and you're careful with what you're doing, should be fine

It'd be awesome if we could precompile stuff, but unfortunately I think the the precompiler list is is an unfinished feature in the editor for adding precompilers - compilers that run before the regular compiler, to change parts of your code and stuff. Could be wrong, but I think that's right, sorry

After adding the DBPro Compiler to the pre-compiler list,I get failed to load dba errors in the compiler a few times after clicking compile but it still compiles and the exe is working just click execute list build or run your exe..., try doing this and see if it makes any difference...

Are you using SSDs as well?

I wish there was more information about integrating DBPro with an editor... if there is some already, please do point us in the direction... I would love to work on a Visual Studio based editor... I once saw the page where you can download and use VS in such a way but sort of lost it now... not only that but I also wish I knew how to create a DBPro compiler...

I suggest the "Dragon book":

http://www.amazon.fr/Compilers-Pearson-International-Principles-Techniques/dp/1292024348/ref=sr_1_1?s=english-books&ie=UTF8&qid=1436109287&sr=1-1&keywords=compilers+principles+techniques+and+tools

Very interesting but not easy...

All hail the new flesh

Port your code to Freebasic and use the DBPro plugin for it (search the forum to find it). Freebasic compiles like lightning.

Does a FreeBasic executable perform any faster in the end?

@ KISTech
I get extra fps with bones animation. In other cases fps is approximately the same
