Hise 5 & Compilation Flags

griffinboy

Ah it's nice that we can see that.

@griffinboy I should add that these ones are dynamic, you can change them at run-time, and this doesn't include all possibilities, Christoph is adding to them. There is a recent thread about it somewhere.

@d-healey Cool, so basically this but for the flags you set in Settings and make them toggle

d.healey

@DanH what happens if you want to use different flags on different operating systems?

DanH

@d-healey perhaps it needs two columns then?

Christoph Hart

@DanH but why? Just dump them in the field, I would have to add a toggle button each time I add a preprocessor.

@Christoph-Hart for UX and ease of use basically. Especially helpful for less experienced devs I'm sure. Plus is there a list of available flags in the Docs we can refer to? (I know it's been posted to the forum at some point). Feels like it would be nice to have them all in one place and easy to toggle on / off.

@Christoph-Hart At least an exhaustive list of available flags with proper explanations would be so so useful.
I agree that some of them are constantly asked. And I myself wonder wether this thing I can't get working is because I forgot a flag or not (A flag that I don't recall the existence, and even less its name btw...)

So if not a dynamic setting in Hise (that I understand why it wouldn't be ideal), at least a real list of flags (in Hise or doc, whatever...)

@Christoph-Hart I wonder if you add a comment next to each define in the source, if your doc generator could pick them up automatically and add them to the documentation?
