Post compile hook functionality

[adsbhatial]

Is the post compile hook supposed to trigger on a failed compile? If yes, then maybe a new parameter can be added to signify the compilation status
I'm on the latest pre release on OE 11.7.

Also the ipRcode comes as empty in the post compile procedure regardless of compile status

I just realised I can use the COMPILER:ERROR to find out the compile status, but would that be reliable? In the case of entire project builds, can it be problematic?

The post compile hook is executed immediately after the compilation procedure, in a single-threaded process, so the COMPILER system handle will be exactly in the correct state.

So, the compile happens on a single thread. I thought we could allocate multiple threads to the extension? Is that for the other tasks?

[gquerret]

Multiple threads in the Language Server (which is Java), but mapped to multiple processes (i.e. AVM) for the compilation.

Got it. The ipRCode is coming empty. Does that signify the actual rcode file to be generated, or does it store the R code directory from the config? I have that set to blank, so it would make sense for ipRcode to be coming blank then.

[gquerret]

ipRCode should probably be renamed to ipBuildDir. It's empty if your source directory doesn't have a build attribute (or a global build attribute).

Thanks for explaining.
I will summarise it as follows.

• COMPILER:ERROR can be used to find the compile status.
• ipRCode is actually the build directory and not the rcode to be generated

I will probably do a pr to update the readme
