idlwave: Resolving Routines
4.6 Resolving Routines
======================
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 (Catalogs). Routine
info on modules will then be available without the need to compile the
modules first, and even without a running shell.

IDLWAVE collects data about routines, and how to update this
information.
