axlDBTextBlockCompact(nil)

stmueller

I am trying to understand why axlDBTextBlockCompact(nil) on my test case says it can compact the text blocks down to 38, whereas I find only a total of 26 unique text block references in axlDBGetDesign()->text, axlDBGetDesign()->symbols and axlDBGetDesign()->symdefs. Where else are text blocks used besides these three?

  • In case this helps, here is the code I used for this comparison:

    procedure( test()
    let( (used allused)

    used = list()
    foreach(tx axlDBGetDesign()->text ; axlDBGetAttachedText(axlDBGetDesign())
    unless( member(tx->textBlock used)
    used = cons(tx->textBlock used)
    ); unless
    unless( member(tx->textBlock allused)
    allused = cons(tx->textBlock allused)
    ); unless
    ); foreach

    printf("Texts use %d:\n" length(used))
    foreach(tx sort(used nil)
    printf(" %s" tx)
    )
    printf("\n")

    used = list()
    foreach(s axlDBGetDesign()->symbols
    foreach(c s->children
    when( c->objType == "text"
    tx = c
    unless( member(tx->textBlock used)
    used = cons(tx->textBlock used)
    ); unless
    unless( member(tx->textBlock allused)
    allused = cons(tx->textBlock allused)
    ); unless
    ); when
    ); foreach
    ); foreach

    printf("Symbols use %d:\n" length(used))
    foreach(tx sort(used nil)
    printf(" %s" tx)
    )
    printf("\n")

    used = list()
    foreach(s axlDBGetDesign()->symdefs
    foreach(c s->children
    when( c->objType == "text"
    tx = c
    unless( member(tx->textBlock used)
    used = cons(tx->textBlock used)
    unless( member(tx->textBlock allused)
    allused = cons(tx->textBlock allused)
    ); unless
    ); unless
    ); when
    ); foreach
    ); foreach
    printf("Symdefs use %d:\n" length(used))
    foreach(tx sort(used nil)
    printf(" %s" tx)
    )
    printf("\n")

    printf("All use %d:\n" length(allused))
    foreach(tx sort(allused nil)
    printf(" %s" tx)
    )
    printf("\n")

    printf("However: axlDBTextBlockCompact says: %d\n" axlDBTextBlockCompact(nil) )

    nil
    ))

    Nevermind. I realized in the meantime that I misunderstood what axlDBTextBlockCompact(nil) does and that the last printf should instead say:

        printf("However: axlDBTextBlockCompact says: %d\n" axlDBGetTextBlockCount()-axlDBTextBlockCompact(nil) )
