AU3Stripper Directive To Ignore UDF

[czardas]

I was wondering if there was a (file scope) directive which could be added to a UDF library - set to ignore everything within the file. This would allow the use of AU3Stripper with a random UDF library where variable names and functions are set. I'm after a 'Do not touch under any circumstances' directive to add to my UDF (\mo). It appears that the directives affect the whole script, rather than ignore a single set of UDF functions/variables. I sure hope I'm wrong about that last statement. I don't only want hidden functions to always be included, but I also do not want any functions to be modified in any way whatsoever: variable renaming also prohibited regardless of user intention. Furthermore, the directive must not not automatically invoke AU3Stripper for the rest of the script.

If no such directive exists, it's going to entail writing a rather ugly and complicated patch, and I'm not even sure if it will work. Where is the documentation?

#Au3Stripper_Off

Do you mean this?

#Au3Stripper_Off

; this will be preserved
Execute('_ImSafe()')

Func _ImSafe()
    Local $iNameRemainsIntact
    Execute('$iNameRemainsIntact')
EndFunc
#Au3Stripper_On

; the following will be stripped
Global $vNotUsed

Func _StripAway()
EndFunc

Yes

Is it work as you need ?

Thanks. That's great: I don't need to write the patch. Thanks a lot.
I have never used AU3Stripper myself.

It would be nice if only comments were removed leaving the code untouched between two directives. I haven't looked into all options available yet, but any more pointers are welcome. I know I can set functions and variables to be ignored, but I still need to test this approach. I'm currently using #AU3Stripper_Off as recommended above.

EDIT Ignore. AU3Stripper still removes comments even with #AU3Stripper_Off
