AngelScript

Incremental builds

Besides the ordinary compilation of scripts and subsequent executions, AngelScript also support dynamically compiling additional functions and global variables to incrementally add to the scope of a module. These functions and variables will become part of the scope, just as if they had been included in the initial script compilation which means that subsequent executions or incremental compilations can use them.

It is also possible to dynamically remove functions and variables. Doing so doesn't immediately discard the functions or variables, so other functions that still refer to them will not fail when executing them. They will however no longer be visible for new compilations or when searching for functions or variables in the module.

This kind of dynamic compilations is most useful when dealing with user interaction, e.g. an ingame console, or perhaps event handlers, e.g. a trigger on a GUI button click.
