Title: Searching for imports
Post by: donkey on April 08, 2009, 05:40:08 AM
Hi Jeremy,

This is not a bug but a request. When searching for imports from DLLs is it possible to have a warning instead of an error when a DLL is not found ? The problem is that the header files when LINKFILES is defined will automatically include any related DLLs whether they exist or not as long as the header is included. Normally this would be a good thing however, since people are requesting an INCLUDEALL type switch it normally kicks out fairly early and it is not possible to have an order that will match all cases. I would say that if an import cannot be found that should always generate a fatal error, however if a DLL cannot be found it should simply be skipped and a warning issued (or none at all), by the time all DLLs are searched if an import is still not found then an error is issued and assembly is stopped otherwise the missing DLL was not needed anyway so it should have been ignored.

Hi Edgar

This is now included in the latest GoLink (Version 0.26.10) which I have uploaded to the Go tools website (http://www.godevtool.com), together with all the latest "Go" tools versions, previously published in bits and pieces on this site.
