Falcon compiler for mxml
Hi all
I want to ask, if I may a few questions about the current status of flex.
- Is Falcon the default compiler used for mxml apps in 4.9.1 SDK?
- if not - what is needed to set it up as the default compiler?
- is it production ready at all?
- How close is it to be used in production? (people was saying it is
70% ready when it was donated last year - did that changed?)
I was trying to get an answer asking on stackoverflow - http://goo.gl/eoeTE
and on the Apache flex community on G+ - http://goo.gl/h4XMy
cheers

If you don't use link reports... try using the incremental compilation. It will not recompile certain files that have not changed.

Hi Justin, thank you for your answer
I need to develop a flex mxml app for the web
it is a complex on, and therefore mxmlc takes forever to compile.
my interest in the Falcon compiler is really the promise for reasonable
compiling time.
I'd sure appreciate any tips on faster compilation. up to now all i got was
to break the project into different apps while each is compiled as a
library project
and have the main project I'm working on include the code I'm not - as a
swc...
this workflow is time consuming, and many of the times not possible due to
dependencies within the app.
so basically, I need to know if there is hope... if Falcon is going to be
out soon, so we can have reasonable compilation time like it was so
underlined when it was donated.
cheers

It is expected to be faster, but I would not expect an order of magnitude improvement. The hope was that non-incremental compiles would be 2x faster.
In any large project it is better to eliminate a complex network of interdependencies. Proper use of modules and interfaces should make development more efficient.

It may or may not give you any speed improvements. Anyone know if it generally faster or not?

No.

For it to fully support compiling MXML and binding.

It has made some progress but not sure how far it has to go.
What features do you need that Falcon provides? If it's advanced telemetry that been added to the current MXML compiler.
Thanks,
Justin
