Deleting empty functions on compile
lazarus / 9-Editor

Hi,
Having come to lazarus from CBuilder, there are 2 things I would like
to know:

1). On CBuilder, when you compiled the .ppp file, any functions that
were empty were deleted along with their prototype. Can lazarus do the
same? I have looked through all the options and haven't seen it.
2). On the RUN menu, there is Run to Cursor, which I used a lot on
CBuilder. However, it is ALWAYS greyed out - why and can it be
enabled?

Thanks

Brian

There is an option to warn about empty procedures in the IDE under
Tools|Options. If you delete a procedure, at compile time the empty
prototype will flag an error, and on the following compile you will be
asked if other files need cleaning up.

Not so slick, but cautious.

Better is the specific option in IDE Options on the Editor, Completion
and Hints page.

It is the first checkbox at the top (unchecked in the picture).

Hi both

For some reason, I didn't get notified of your replies even though
notify was set! The first method didn't do anything with empty ones,
but the second worked fine. Thanks
