question: howto compile sourcepawn compiler?

[KissLick]

I did compile with AMBuild.

With AMBuild, https://github.com/alliedmodders/sourcepawn has an option in configure.py to specify what suite of SP to compile.

ok, how do I use AMBuild to only compile the 1.7 compiler?

The SourcePawn code wasn't separate from SM in 1.7.x, you'll need to build SM in it's entirety.

You can avoid most of the deps: (for linux, figure it out yourself or follow the wiki instructions if you're on another platform)

git clone --recursive --depth=1 --branch=tf2 https://github.com/alliedmodders/hl2sdk.git hl2sdk-tf2
git clone --recursive --depth=1 --branch=1.10-dev https://github.com/alliedmodders/metamod-source.git
git clone --recursive --depth=1 --branch=1.7-dev https://github.com/alliedmodders/sourcemod.git
python ./configure.py -s present --no-mysql --enable-optimize
ambuild obj-linux
./obj-linux/sourcepawn/compiler/spcomp/spcomp

If your build fails with "cc1: all warnings being treated as errors" it is because you're using a newer compiler version than we are for builds, and you'll need to disable -Werror (just delete the line in AMBuildScript). You may also have other failures using a newer compiler, please post a new thread if you need help building SM.

if it's not already in the planned features list, may I request that references be usable outside function params?

PHP Code:

int number = 1;
int& num = number;
num = 5; //number is now 5

I don't see non-argument references ever happening. There's not a lot of utility for them right now and it complicates thinking about other features (like nested functions).

like this? I call em Function generators

PHP Code:

     float foo (float a, float b)
     {
         float square (float z) { return z * z; }
         return square (a) + square (b);
     } 


Problem is, won't this skyrocket function overhead?

[BAILOPAN]

I'm not really sure what you're asking.

question on methodmaps...

Can methodmaps have timer functions stored in them?

If yes, How can I use them in CreateTimer?

PHP Code:

methodmap MethMap
{

    public MethMap (int index, bool uid = false)
    {
        if (uid) {
            return view_as<MethMap>( index );
        }
        return view_as<MethMap>( GetClientUserId(index) );
    }

    property int userid {
        public get()                { return view_as<int>(this); }
    }
    property int index {
        public get()                { return GetClientOfUserId( this.userid ); }
    }

    public Action dotimerz(Handle Timer, any data)
    {
        return Plugin_Continue;
    }
};

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    MethMap objectx;
    for ( int i = 1 ; i <= MaxClients ; ++i )
    {
        if ( !IsValidClient(i) ) continue;
        OnClientPutInServer(i);
        objectx = MethMap(i);
        CreateTimer(120.0, objectx.dotimerz, objectx.userid);
    }
}
