  IDL Virtual Machine

Developing for the IDL Virtual Machine

Beginning with IDL 6.0, the IDL Virtual Machine is included with all IDL distributions. IDL will default to the IDL VM mode whenever a .sav file program is run without a valid license. For the benefit of developers who need to debug applications designed to run in this environment, the IDL VM can be run explicitly.

 

How to create and distribute applications for the IDL VM

Anyone with a development license of IDL 6.0 or greater can create programs that can be run using the IDL VM. Any normal .sav file application that does not use disabled functionality will work. For information on the features and restrictions of the IDL VM, see the IDL VM FAQ. These are the steps to follow:

  • Build your IDL application. You use the normal method of compiling your code, resolving dependencies, and then saving the compiled p-code to a file. Then, you can test your program by running it explicitly with the IDL VM. For more details. see the documentation on Distributing Virtual Machine Applications. Click Here >
  • Provide your users with instructions for installing the IDL VM and running your application with the IDL VM. This information is available for download here in the IDL Virtual Machine PDF.
  • Distribute your application!

For additional information on how to do this see some of our IDL VM tech tips:

Once you have installed IDL 6.0, you can download this example code to try compiling and running a demo application using the IDL VM.
