Can I use the debugger for include files?

[bobpit]

Hello

I am trying out the debugger.  I placed a breakpoint on a function that is defined in a different file (with #include_once).  I try with step over and step in.  Nothing happens.  Could it be because of the #include_once ?

I read the www.amibroker.com/guide/h_debugger.html . Could not find anything.

Apparently it is not supported (yet). So you have to ask AmiBroker's support channel about future development plans.

This is odd. Complicated formulas that need elaborate debugging are much more likely to have multiple files and #include.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your e-mail.

It is wrong approach. AFL is not C/C++.
C/C++ programmers tend to create hundreds of small files.

Don't do that in AFL. One, two #included files are good choice.

In AFL #includes are intended to be used only for well-tested and already tested "library" functions that are used in MANY formulas. (say you have an indicator that you want to use in many places).

Any under-development code should be in ...

I guess this one answers the questions.
Code being in development state all of it should be placed in main file.
