[WDSCI-L] Feedback on iProjects - good, bad and ugly


I really appreciate all the feedback. You guys are awesome!

You and the whole team who make RDi are awesome!

Some of what I have learned.

3) Improved build mechanism
- Simple compiles seem to work, If people are aware of RPGLEINC they can
avoid compiling their copy files.
- ILE is tricky for i Projects to guess correctly because it is not

obvious

= we would need some additional metadata in the project to remember

what

binds to what and with what compile/bind options
= we could possibly populate this from the existing compiled objects

I know it would only be a part, but perhaps making RPGMOD (and CLMOD and
CBLMOD) member types would also help. These would be used only for source
that compiles to a module. Then to somehow have additional metadata for
how these get bound to their final destination would complete the picture.
This would also be quite useful for connected edit/compile/debug work.
