Yep. Latest version of CrapIDE is as uninformative as previous versions.jjasper7 » Thu Mar 20, 2014 9:58 pm wrote:I have not been able to compile a new ea. I get an error after the last line,

Somewhere in the previous 6000 lines of code, you missed out a bracket. Or added a bracket. Or stuck in a semi-colon where you should have placed a bracket.
Or breathed, or something. The fucking compiler will not tell you where you went wrong.
Earlier today, I spent half an hour hunting down an 'unbalanced right parenthesis'.
Was there buggery an 'unbalanced right parenthesis'. For sure, I could not spot it, and I am quite good at this stuff these days.
In the end, I commented out the code. Then I copy/pasted the stuff from within the comment - hey presto, no more 'unbalanced right parenthesis'.
My friend, if you want to retain your sanity when coding this rubbish, never write more than two lines of code without attempting a compilation.
Always map out a cod block before filling it. So, in an if (some conditional) for example, I always (and I mean always) type:
if (some condition)
{
}//if (some condition)
and do a recompile to make sure some buggering blasted unbalanced something or other in line 432 is not going to cause me a problem at the end of the program in 8943 lines time.
Hmm, not sure if I am helping here or merely foaming at the mouth. Let's just say: I feel you pain, buddy. Good luck in sorting out the mess this crap has landed you in.
