Improve Documentation on importing other hexpat files into hexpat file #269
Comments
Hey, as of right now patterns cannot really import other patterns. This is an active point of development though, ultimately the goal is that you can just import other patterns using the |
As mentioned in WerWolv/Documentation#18, user patterns can import other custom pattern headers just fine. But that usually involves adding a new directory to the pattern search paths in the @WerWolv I believe that the only quality of life thing missing from the described workflow is a feature of C++ |
As we discussed on Discord, I am now submitting an initial version of the `import` statement documentation. All suggestions are welcome. Fixes: #15. Fixes: #11. I am not sure if this is considered controversial, but adding a folder with multiple of your pattern files to the search paths using `Extras > Settings > Folders` will allow the user to correctly `import` their pattern files to other pattern files. If I understand the request/issue correctly, that's also the point of the issue: WerWolv/ImHex-Patterns#269 **Edit**: I think it also fixes: WerWolv/ImHex#1641 since ImHex won't crash anymore in that issue, and this PR explains how to properly use standard library headers. --------- Co-authored-by: paxcut <[email protected]>
@KevinCCucumber, a new page called Importing Modules was recently added to the documentation. Can you see if it provides the info you were interested in? |
I am analyzing a file containing compressed chunks.
I imported the zstd.hexpat file and managed to highlight some code blocks on executing it.
However, now I want to integrate this function into my main hexpat file that I use to analyze the whole file, but I cannot manage to import or use the type zstd_frame_t, but I can import the function from hex::dec::zstd_decompress(pattern, section) when copying all the definitions into my hexpat file.
I would like the documentation to be augmented on how the hexpat files work with each other.
I love what you do. Keep up the great work!
