The key sequence C-c = calls the command
idlwave-resolve and sends the line
‘RESOLVE_ROUTINE,
'routine_name'’ to IDL in order to
resolve (compile) it. The default routine to be resolved is taken
from context, but you get a chance to edit it. Usually this is
not necessary, since IDL automatically discovers routines on its
path.
idlwave-resolve is one way to get a library
module within reach of IDLWAVE’s routine info collecting
functions. A better way is to keep routine information available
in catalogs (see Catalogs).
Routine info on modules will then be available without the need
to compile the modules first, and even without a running
shell.
See Sources of Routine Info, for more information on the ways IDLWAVE collects data about routines, and how to update this information.
