compile_object

NAME

compile_object - compile an object

SYNOPSIS

object compile_object(string file)

DESCRIPTION

Compile an object from a LPC file, specified by the argument string with ".c" appended. The returned object will have the argument string as name.

If the object to be compiled already exists and is not inherited by any other object, it and all of its clones will be upgraded to the new version. Variables will be preserved only if they also exist in the new version and have the same type; new variables will be initialized to 0. The actual upgrading is done immediately upon completion of the current thread.
