Cool VL Viewer forum

Hi, I'm really evaluating the preprocessor addon in Emerald. It is of unvaluable value for writing serious and recyclable lsl code in sl.
Is there any possibility that you can implement this part from emerald?
Since you are already importing some features from viewer 2.0 I would then use yours as best viewer

that would be a serious treat... even though i usually code in lslplus in eclipse.

Have you suggested those changes to the LSLPlus project? I don't think adding extensions to the language in the viewer is a good idea. I think it adds confusion as to what is LSL and what is an extension.

lslplus already does #include and #define, or something to that effect.

Problem is that lslplus is NOT using #include #ifdef
it is using a very strange and elaborate form of $include
which is NOT compatible with anything a normal programmer can use and recycle

I had to study this approach for some days before understanding it asking for help to lslplus core programmers and reading (incomplete) documentation.

I really don't understand this choice from lslplus
but this alone is enough for me NOT using lslplus.

Moreover the integration with the viewer allows for very fast development cycle, while it is not very useful to test sophisticated piece of software which are doing complex interactions in sl.

So again the emerald preprocessor approach even if maybe needed to be bettered in some ways, it is still the most advanced tool I see to professionally develop complex projects in sl....

I tried different approaches including lslplus and find myself severely limited with the non-standard implementation of $include made by them

If you know lslplus core programmers maybe you can try to ask them to use standard macro features

you have a point there. several actually.
I only saw that lslplus has an include command, never actually used it so far.
