==================
Compiling a script
==================
You can compile a Squirrel script with the function *sq_compile*.::
typedef SQInteger (*SQLEXREADFUNC)(SQUserPointer userdata);
SQRESULT sq_compile(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQREADFUNC read,SQUserPointer p,
const SQChar *sourcename,SQBool raiseerror);
In order to compile a script is necessary for the host application to implement a reader
function (SQLEXREADFUNC); this function is used to feed the compiler with the script
data.
The function is called every time the compiler needs a character; It has to return a
character code if succeed or 0 if the source is finished.
If sq_compile succeeds, the compiled script will be pushed as Squirrel function in the
stack.
.. :note::
In order to execute the script, the function generated by *sq_compile()* has
to be called through *sq_call()*
Here an example of a 'read' function that read from a file: ::
SQInteger file_lexfeedASCII(SQUserPointer file)
{
int ret;
char c;
if( ( ret=fread(&c,sizeof(c),1,(FILE *)file )>0) )
return c;
return 0;
}
int compile_file(HSQUIRRELVM v,const char *filename)
{
FILE *f=fopen(filename,"rb");
if(f)
{
sq_compile(v,file_lexfeedASCII,f,filename,1);
fclose(f);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
When the compiler fails for a syntax error it will try to call the 'compiler error handler';
this function must be declared as follow: ::
typedef void (*SQCOMPILERERROR)(HSQUIRRELVM /*v*/,const SQChar * /*desc*/,const SQChar * /*source*/,
SQInteger /*line*/,SQInteger /*column*/);
and can be set with the following API call::
void sq_setcompilererrorhandler(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQCOMPILERERROR f);
