Any tips at all?

(i got this version of source http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/...-v3.1.0-src.exe)

I am trying to at least get a vaugue understanding of the source code

I'm really confused!

Where are built-in functions defined? maybe a short definition of the important files?

Hi!

It is useful to have a tool like Dev-C++ installed to understand the source, because you have syntax highliting and project-wide search (i think).

They are in several script*.cpp files. Search the files for AutoIt_Script::F_xxx, where xxx is the name of the function. Like: AutoIt_Script::F_MsgBox in script_misc.cpp.

Let's start from point 1.

• Do you know the language, C++ ?
• How familiar are you with it ?

Then maybe we could get you off on the right foot.

what does this line do, in F_ConsoleWrite?

fflush(stdout);

I suggest you learn more about C++. Without that knowledge you won't understand the source code. http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html
