There cannot be any unwanted side-effects from introducing the new commands MakeList and CompileSubs because there are no changes in the existing system. There is zero risk for the existing system.luowy wrote:...,but it maybe introduce some uncertain effect

I much like these tools,they save alot of time and greatly reduce trivial work,more such tool more close to out-of-box IDE.
but currently the release of 1.7 is the most important thing for all of us,we canot go beyond too much time limit,
so,I suggest make this tool in a separate module for migration using at first,then improve it after the release of 1.7
with feedbacks from user, judge it until it's statable.

The new commands have been thoroughly tested by me and now even care for exotic cases such as recursive imports and name differences between files and modules.
I believe that most will agree that a tool that is helpful for supporting the migration of 1.6. to 1.7 should be
available when that migration appears, and not be scheduled for a later time when the migration has already been
done without that tool.
Overall, I think, if we recommend our own migration tool we also show that we care about a
positive migration experience of our users and our own tool is much simpler to
use and produces less TRAPs than the ypkDevTool, which was the previously considered alternative.
