I am using ATEasy software development environment to develop automatic tests.
The ATEasy version is 6-136b.
In one of the projects I use a third party driver that is password protected, so I cannot look at its code.
when I want to compile and check for errors (by clicking Check All) I am getting:
Compiling ...
ST
System
A2D
Compiler error #570: Expected integer expression, found in 'A2D.API_RemoteRegister' in line 3
But, when I am trying to compile & build the project (by clicking Build or Rebuild all), I get this:
------ Rebuild All started: Project: ST ------
Compiling ...
ST
System
A2D
No Errors
Creating 'D:\ST.exe' ...
Done.
When I run the ST.EXE everything works fine.
How can it be? In both cases, I see that it compiles the code (Compiling ...)
I asked this question in the ATEasy forum and got this replay:
Check All - checks all procedure no matter if they were referenced in your project. Build and Rebuild All - only checks your project referenced procedures. Since in your project you are not calling API_RemoteRegister the error you have will not shown.
I checked a little further and found out that if there are no references to a function, the compiler dosent add it to the compilation.
If you want to add a function to the compilation anyway you can do it by:
right click the function --> properties --> check "compile"
