linker.write info

[davehouser]

Just playing around and wondering how one uses the linker.write info method?

Linker.read is easy!

But documentation on linker.write is sparse.

Who wants to share?

Thanks,Dave

Write linker info is not recommended unless you are one of two developers on the LV R&D team and even then only if you are writing pretty much exclusively to VIs that don't link to anything "special" -- by which I mean anything other than another VI. (So no shared variables, libraries, classes, elemental I/O nodes, mathscript files, state charts, xcontrols, properties of xcontrols, xnodes, DLLs, pink hearts, orange stars, green clovers or purple horseshoes.) It exists predominantly to read a VI's existing linker information and then make a few very specific changes to that info and then write it back. It is not a panacea for cross-link repairs, app building or updating relative links.

Yeah I know it's off-list just curious.

Just trying what you mention, vi to vi. I was just fighting a single weird linkage issue and wanted to try something totally random.

thanks for the reply though, dave
