With pbOptimizer you can clean up your source code and/or final executable from leftover Comments, Procedures, uncalled PB Libraries and Functions.

This is a beta version! Please report all bugs here... Thank you. Download pbOptimizer.zip (PB 5.7x+, Windows only)

v0.9.8.6

fixed ImageEncoder removal
added the display of "Called WinAPI Functions" when processing ASM

v0.9.8.5

fixed "Remove Uncalled Libs/Funcs" not working properly without having "Remove Comments" selected too
fixed ImagePlugins detection
added Jpeg2000 support (.jp2)
added a MessageBox if the compiled program crashes on execution ("Run Output")
renamed "Remove Macro Comments" to "Remove Resolved Macros"
some minor fixes

v0.9.8.4

fixed a bug with RC files that weren't added when "Include Version Information" was not ticked (Many thanks to Denis for providing me with a project)
added a hint for "Open .pb". If you open the same file again and again, you first have to close the file in the IDE or you won't see the update...

v0.9.8.3

#PB_Editor_CompileCount, #PB_Editor_BuildCount, #PB_Editor_CreateExecutable are no longer case sensitive
IDE file settings are now also applied to the optimized .pb
tweaked Macros and Procedures filtering
some minor fixes

v0.9.8.2

added compatibility with #PB_Editor_CompileCount, #PB_Editor_BuildCount, #PB_Editor_CreateExecutable (read only)
added "Remove ImagePlugins" to remove ImagePlugins if the string ".bmp", ".png", ".tga", ... was not found anywhere in the source code
added a timer
more string concatenations fixed
"Remove Uncalled Procedures" is not case sensitive anymore

v0.9.8.1

better string concatenation (massive speed improvement)
optimized UI responsiveness
added a progressbar

v0.9.8.0

fixed a bug with _THREAD and _DOUBLE

Can't wait to try!

Looks promising!

I also tried it out with a bigger project, there the optimization runs already since 20min...
Could you still display interim reports or a progress bar to see if the program is still running?

Ciao Dige

Over 20min? How many lines did the ASM-part report? Did it finish successfully, though?

I'll see what I can do

updated to v0.9.8.1

The tested source code has about 100000 lines.
I aborted pbOptimizer after 30min.
The same result with version 0.9.8.1.

Using 0.9.8.1 beta, my source is stuck on this for over 5 minutes now:

After 1 hour and 30 min .. the last output is still "Optimizing..."

Hi chi

i don't know how fred do with PB lib.

So, if you remove a call to a PB lib named 'x', and PB use it not directly but inside another lib, how to know that ?
Just a question.

Hard to say... The biggest project I'm testing with is ~12.000 ASM lines and it takes about 20 seconds (0.9.8.1) to compile. With 0.9.8.0 it took 2min. Maybe it's another string problem, but without testing/debugging, it's just a hunch.

Always stuck after "String Format"? Was it able to finish? What OS are you on (x86,x64)?

Just a question.

You can see the dependencies when you edit e.g.\PureBasic\PureLibraries\Window = 2DDrawing Desktop VectorDrawing SimpleList Object Gadget Event. pbOptimizer simply filters them and deletes those that are never called.

Does anyone know a big project to test with?

What i want to tell is that there are may be hidden reference to this lib that is a lib coulb be called indirectly by another lib not only par it's ows procedures.

I will try with my projet PureIconManager (about 65 000 lines) but today if i get enough time.

Gave it a try but it doesn't like Editor Constants...

Maybe it would be a good idea to display an error message and quit instead of listing an error with all the other info in the optimizer window and showing "Optimizing..."
I didn't realize the optimizer was done because it still showed "Optimizing..."

It also removed procedures that were actually being used so the final optimized code would not compile.

With 0.9.8.2 it takes 8 seconds to compile

Code:

LoggerInfo("Version - 0.1."+Str(#pb_editor_buildcount)+"."+Str(#pb_editor_compilecount))

This is some lines of my code.
#pb_editor_buildcount
#pb_editor_compilecount

are PB constants when you activate it.
