I guess it won’t be serialized into the source code, but will be referenced and loaded unnecessarily at runtime, and people could damage the app if they delete such file, or even edit it changing my code.
Well, Thanks guys for the participation. I found a similar problem already discussed and ignored in the forum, so I also will just workaround the bug with the extra unnecessary reprocessing overhead until Xojo understands that the current way they do, is not the standard way, and needs to fix it.
FWIW, it can be spreading terrible silent fails in someone else’s apps. Like executing an SQL as Ok, but only half of it, like having a code like this into a Constant:
DELETE a_table WHERE a_field = 123;
-- Now let's log whatever
INSERT INTO LOG ... ;
