[Solved] Static If Question

[Mr_Bean]

Hello,

I want to make a library which optionally requires T32.
How can I use static ifs to do this?
I have this so far:

static if (LIBRARY_T32) then

private method periodic takes nothing returns nothing
    // ...
endmethod

implement T32x

endif

But this gives an error, saying that the module was not found (when I disable T32).
Is there a way to get around this, or can T32 not be made optional?

Thanks,

Mr_Bean

Hi Mr_Bean, I found this (ancient) post which is about the same question.
For a better understanding, from the Vexorian vJASS manual. (Search for static ifs)
Hope this helps.

I have had success using static if to wrap a whole function. Not sure why it doesn't work for you. Try removing the brackets, though that most likely isn't the issue.

EDIT: What version of CTL are you using? There is no T32x module in the system in jass forum.

You can just try checking if a specific method exists like

static if T32.init.exists{

}

(jass+java lol)

does your library require optional t32?

Thanks for the replies guys.

I understand static ifs, I am just having trouble with putting implement T32x in a static if.

I am using Timer32 version 1.06.

Wrapping the function works, it throws an error with the implement T32x line, saying that the module wasn't found (when T32 is disabled).

Thanks, will give it a try. Is that in zinc or something?

Yes.

have you tried putting implement optional T32x ?

Check out how I did it in my latest library.

library TimedStack requires Stack, IndexStack, optional TimerUtils

...
            static if not $GLOBAL$ then
                call PauseTimer(expired)
                static if LIBRARY_TimerUtils then
                    call ReleaseTimer(.clock)
                else
                    call DestroyTimer(.clock)
                endif
            endif
...

THANK YOU! This was the solution I was looking for!
