January 2, 2019: New SciTE4AutoIt3 available with the updated SciTE v4.1.2 release

[BrewManNH]

Even though there's a difference, it's so small does it REALLY matter? These EXEs are tiny in comparison to the smallest drive they could be used on I hardly see why it matters.

example_callback.exe - 980 KB

Au3Stripper ended with errors, using original scriptfile.rc:1

That is why the file size is different, otherwise, the out put of the stripper would show, as it shows in example.exe

But how do errors affect size so much? Resulting example_stripped.au3 and example_callback_stripped.au3 are identifical!

Au3Stripper ended with errors, using original scriptfile.rc:1

The *_stripped.au3 is there but it exit with errors and is now using the original *.au3 for compilation, not the *_stripped.au3 one   

PS: ..and leaving the stripped file there, is good for troubleshooting. So is not a flaw to leave it there.

That is the whole purpose of au3stripper, to strip the shitload of included code not used by the script.

I have indeed changed the default that, in case errors are detected, the original script is used, because too many people simply ignored the messages from au3stripper and complained about the script not working anymore.
This can be overridden when you are sure your script isn't crippled by adding this directive:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3stripper_OnError=ForceUse  ;(C/S/ForceUse) Continue/Stop on Errors/Continue using stripped source in Exe (Default=C)

Then why the result of the stripper with errors (that is, when a full-fledged original code is taken instead of stripped, as you say) is compiled into an executable file with a smaller size than when errors do not occur?

Though I covered that in my previous post or do you mean this question:

.. which I do not understand as normally the original script contains only your code and misses the include files code lines.
So please give me some exact data en, as requested, a simple example showing me what you mean as the posted example is not clear to me what you are saying. (sorry )

I used to be worried about the size of the AutoIt compiled program, but not any more as my programs are now used on larger scaled computers.

Thank you, Jos! I got it. In version 16 there were errors, in the window I chose “continue”, the stripper continued his work and the output was a small executable file. In version 19 errors also occurred, but the window did not appear, the stripper was automatically turned off and the output was a large executable file.

I added the ForceUse directive and now the executable file is small in size again!

So I was in remote desktop and moved it to the other monitor, that I left with DPI to 150% and, long story short.

trailing spaces in script - is there a option to keep/delete in SciTE4AutoIt3?

It seems I somehow enabled their deletion, but don't know how to make SciTE to keep them back instead...

That is the default behaviour as they normally don't serve any purpose.  
... but I can only assume you didn't first open the Helpfile that comes with the full SciTE4AutoIt3 version, as it is documented.

Quote

strip.trailing.spaces strip.trailing.spaces.filepattern

Strips trailing white spaces from the file while saving. The global strip.trailing.spaces property can be overridden for files that match a pattern by using the file pattern forms: strip.trailing.spaces.*.yaml=0 or strip.trailing.spaces.$(file.patterns.yaml)=0

Thanks! I'm always forget about second help in Autoit...

Au3Stripper:  changed variable names x   eval(.....)

change variable names is one of the functions of the stripper/obfuscator and it´s great!

In a program, I use eval("variableName" & $K). WIthout compile, the program Works great.

But after compiled with #Au3Stripper_Parameters=/so /rm, the program din´t work anymore. After some time looking for the problem I realize the it coudn´t, as the variable names changed !

The point is: I can´t deactivate this function, as it obfuscate the program up to a almost unreadable code.... on other hand, the smallest code would be to use eval....  Any suggestion?

I am pretty sure you got an error/warning from au3stripper about the Eval() statement....right?

Thanks Jos

I just compiled the program. The .AU3 with GO is ok.     But the .exe don´t (as expected).

This is a piece of the program that after stripper don´t work    (as expected)

For $K=1 to 11
    MsgBox(4096,$K, GUICtrlRead( eval ( "tlNivMan_" & $K) ) &@cr& eval ( "tlNivMan_" & $K) &@cr& "tlNivMan_" & $K ) ;*** to show the problem
    If GUICtrlRead( eval( "tlNivMan_" & $K) ) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $nivel= 25 - ($K-1) * 5
    EndIf
Next

Follows the compilation messages, where I coudn´t find the error... I´m surprised...

Of course, I could implent a CASE, as they are about "just" 11+9= 19 loops.

Or  arrays. On that case, as koda does not create fields into array, I would have to edit later the generated code, and that makes upgrades to screens a non automatic thing....

My question is if there is not a clever way?

I get this for your short piece of code:

So as you can see the warning/errors are there and the script is reverted to the original version.

This is all with this latest version of the SciTE4AutoIt3 installer.

This is all with this latest version of the SciTE4AutoIt3 installer. 

Thanks Jos, as expected now... I will upgrade it.

[Jos]

I am obviously running the latest Beta, but would have expected the same for the latest production. 
Did you try the small script on your latest production install and did it not generate the errors?
