Can't parse library inclusions

[Kaiochao]

#include<author/library/library.dme> in a .dm file gives

unexpected token Punct(Less), expecting Token::String(path)
path separated by '.', should be '/'
got '>', expected one of: '/', '[', contents, newline, identifier

Was aware of this, but thanks for officially filing it

Can't #include non-library .dme files either: unknown extension "dme"

[SpaceManiac]

.dme files are treated just like .dm files as of 574f1f780eed39be19e7aeb5cd04066980458740.

Library inclusion requires more work due to the way the parser is structured.

What's the problem with this currently?

[SpaceManiac]

#include <a/b/c.dm> is tokenized as [Less, "a", Slash, "b", Slash, "c", Dot, "dm", Greater] and preprocessor chokes on it because it wants a single string literal

[SpaceManiac]

Note that there are two prongs to this:

1. Changing the way the lexer and preprocessor interact so that the preprocessor can see <a/b/c.dm> as a single unit rather than a token stream
2. Determining BYOND install locations so that a <> include can actually be located and parsed

Is there a workaround to this? I just ran into the same problem. The parser cannot continue and all evaluation gets skipped.

[SpaceManiac]

The workaround is to copy-paste the libraries into your project's source tree instead of using BYOND's library system.
