I tried running some good-sized programs that I've written for Eu 2.3 and 3.1..
The first one contains about 8,000 lines of code. No problems at all, except that the zlib wrapper (which is not written by me) used the name "loop" as the counter variable in a couple of for-loops, so I had to change that.
The second one is about 15,000 lines. It uses variables named "continue" and "case", so I had to change all occurrences of those two. After that it seemed to work fine.
Some advice I give to any coder that stays around long enough for me to talk to is to never use English words for identifiers, especially lowercase ones. Always use mixed case and/or combined words/abbreviations. In my code, I try to use non-language words by adding a single letter prefix to normal words. The exception is the single character identifiers i, j, and k used for some for-loop constructs.
YMMV
Btw, how do you get the same behavior as with EXWC (i.e. that a new console window isn't opened when you run your program)?
This is talked about in a number of places in the manual.
- eui -> Uses the existing console window.
- euiw -> Creates a new console window.
