running built-functions from command line ???

[arikjce]

Hi
Is there is a way to avoid , copying all missing system VM files to the directory, when running from the command line  - it is very slow, and causing bugs.

I wish to run the testers from the command line, but I don't know how to let the VMEmulator use built-in functions in this mode.

Thanks

I don't think there is a way to do that. But you can do the following: copy all the OS .vm files once in a designated directory, then put the .jack files you want to develop/test there and compile them. The jack compiler will override original ones with your versions.

You can create a simple shell/batch script to automate that if you wish.

Hi
Thanks, but I have already used that solution.
Its much slower, and is causing some unexpected errors

What errors are you seeing?

Your OS .vm files should be able to work interchangeably with the supplied .vm files or with the built-in classes.

Two things that may cause problems:
  o  If one of your OS classes requires an init() function that the supplied/built-in Sys class doesn't call.
  o  If your OS classes have different initialization order requirement than the supplied classes.

Hi
I agree with you, but in my previous courses, some students reported that my command-line tester failed, while doing it with the built in classes worked.
And another thing is the time - there is a significant change - built in classes are much faster.

I thought that I might change the source code, and try to make an automatic built-in usage.

Are any of you one of the software developers? I would love to get an hint on what is the easiest way to do it

Thanks
