Labview class recompile and source controll

[pawhan11]

I have stared using OOP in LV some time ago, and there is something that I don't undrestand.

When I modify 1 class VI all class members are recompiled and also modified despite of fact that I haven't touched them.

This becomes a serious problem when using source controll, I am pushing hundreds of VIs to the server and without comments I can not tell which VI was modified. Is there a way around that? When programming without classes I never had this problem. I am using GOOP from Symbio

pawhan11,

 

To reduce the changes to your source from recompiling- go to the VI properties General category and check:

Separate compiled code from source file

When this flag is set LabVIEW saves the compiled code in a separate location called the Compiled Object Cache.   The Compiled Object Cache will not be part of your source code repository so a compile will  not lead to a change to your repository.

I went through the same problem when I started implementing OOP a couple years ago and Rick's answer is the correct solution.
