Compile with -a parameter

Hello,
I read ******es tutorial about #emit and I trying to compile my pawn code with -a but nothing happens,
I opened "settings.ini" in my pawno directory and added -a to Params just like this one:

Код:

Params=-r -a

I pressed F5 to compile this and I strill getting .AMX file instead of .AMS.
What is the problem?

Thanks.

Compiler options don't work unless you put them in a specific file. Create a file called pawn.cfg in the Pawno directory and put the options in there.

Or in your case "-r -a". I personally use "-r -d0 -O2" (and -l or -a as appropriate).

Edit: Vince posted as I was writing - well played!

Thnaks,
From your comment I got two questions:
1. If I will compile my gamemode with -r -a the .AMX file won't change, Right?
2. Why you are using -r -d0 -O2? What I will get if I will use it too?

Thanks again!

P.S
Vince thank you two!

"-d0" means "debug level 0" and removes a lot of run-time checks from the mode. Obviously this makes finding problems harder, but makes your code smaller.

"-O2" (possibly "-O1", one level doesn't work correctly) means "optimisation level 2" and again produces slightly better code.

I got it, Thanks!
I will ask you one more question for not producing spam topics:

In your tutorial you said that I "can loop through the public function list and check all their names" but I still not understand how I can do it?

Thank you very very much!

That isn't what I mean, here you done it with y_amx but I want to do this without your include (only emit).
Is it possible?

Can you give me simple example such as how to get first pubic name?

Ok thanks.

Sorry I'm driving you crazy but why RyDeR used in this code

Код:

#emit ADD.C     4

Why 4? What It means?

I know that 4 is a number, But why he added 4 to the address?

AW: Compile with -a parameter - BigETI - 24.05.2013

I guess it's because variables in PAWN are 4 bytes long (32 bit), so doing "ADD WITH CARRY" 4 on an address jumps to the next address.
