Enhancements in Visual Prolog 5.01
In this section we present the new features of Visual prolog 5.01. For
a detailed description of the new features, please, consult the on-line help.
Compiler
Prolog Library
Some bugs have been fixed in the Prolog Library. Please, see: Prolog
Fixes.
VPI
 | Several new predicates have been added. |
 | Drawing in dialogs is available. |
 | New constants have been added. |
 | Pressing Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter in custom control in dialog
works as pressing these keys in common controls if custom control fails in
these e_Char events. If custom control succeeds, Tab, Shift+Tab does not
shift focus, Enter does not generate e_Control(idc_ok,...). |
 | The new example Win32Ctl is added to the directory VPI\EXAMPLES. It is
usable only under Win32 platforms. It shows how to communicate with standard
Win32 controls. |
 | Some bugs have been fixed. Please, see: VPI
Fixes. |
 | Please, also see the bugs fixed in the VPI
Tools Fixes. |
VDE
 | The envsymbol $(PRODIR) is used for the Project PRO-modules and for Image
resources |
 | It is possible now to call debugger from within VDE using Project/Debug
menu Item. |
 | The compiler option "Generate debug information" is preset now
by default when a new project created. |
 | It is possible now to use only project.PRJ file in the
"multiprogrammer" mode. |
 | It is possible now to set scripts for each node in the project tree. These
scripts run now during build process. |
Debugger
Some bugs have been fixed in the debugger. Please, see: Debugger
Fixes.
Linker
 | The linker option -{L,l}[<lib_name>]
is replaced with two options: |
-L[<lib_name>] - creates an import library in the
MS Library format (compatible with BC). This option is equal to the option
-{l, L}[<lib_name>] in the v.5.0)
-l[<lib_name>] - creates an import library in the
archive format (compatible with MSC) - only for Windows 32 DLL format (PE).
 | A new linker option -b[HexNumber] has been
added. This option sets a base address for the
program to HexNumber, overriding the default location for an .EXE file (at
0x400000). |
