Task 102: .COMPILE File Format
Task 102: .COMPILE File Format
1. List of Properties of the .COMPILE File Format Intrinsic to Its File System
Upon thorough investigation using web searches and browsing relevant resources, no standard file format with the exact extension ".COMPILE" was identified. The closest match is the ".compiled" file format used in ASP.NET precompilation, which serves as metadata for linking virtual paths to compiled assemblies. This format is an XML-based structure generated during the precompilation of ASP.NET web applications. Assuming this is the intended format (due to similarity in naming and lack of alternatives), the intrinsic properties are the XML elements and attributes that define its structure. These properties are derived from examples and descriptions in ASP.NET documentation and community sources.
The properties include:
- resultType: An integer indicating the type of compiled item (e.g., 3 for a page, 8 for global.asax).
- virtualPath: A string representing the virtual path of the associated page or resource (e.g., "/default.aspx").
- hash: A hexadecimal string representing a hash value for the compiled item.
- filehash: A hexadecimal string representing the hash of the source file.
- flags: A hexadecimal string indicating compilation flags (e.g., "130000").
- assembly: A string specifying the name of the associated assembly DLL (e.g., "App_Web_xxxx.dll").
- type: A string denoting the type of the compiled object (e.g., "ASP.default_aspx").
- filedeps: An optional list of file dependencies, each specified as a element with a "name" attribute containing the path to a dependent file.
If this does not align with the intended format, no other specifications for ".COMPILE" were located.
2. Two Direct Download Links for Files of Format .COMPILE
No direct download links for ".COMPILE" files were found, as the format appears non-standard or non-existent based on extensive searches. For the analogous ".compiled" format in ASP.NET, examples are typically generated during compilation and not publicly hosted as downloadable files. However, here are two links to raw XML content from public repositories that represent sample ".compiled" files (which can be saved with a ".compiled" extension):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/some-repo/sample-compiled/default.aspx.compiled (Placeholder; actual content example from searches: )
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/another-repo/sample/global.asax.compiled (Placeholder; actual content example: )
If authentic downloads are required, consider generating them via ASP.NET precompilation tools like aspnet_compiler.exe.
3. Ghost Blog Embedded HTML JavaScript for Drag and Drop .COMPILE File Dump
The following is a complete HTML page with embedded JavaScript that allows users to drag and drop a ".COMPILE" (or ".compiled") file. It parses the XML content and displays all properties on the screen.

4. Python Class for Handling .COMPILE Files
The following Python class can open, decode (parse XML), read properties, write a new file, and print properties to the console.
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
class CompileFileHandler:
def __init__(self, filepath):
self.filepath = filepath
self.tree = None
self.root = None
self.properties = {}
def read(self):
try:
self.tree = ET.parse(self.filepath)
self.root = self.tree.getroot()
if self.root.tag == 'preserve':
self.properties['resultType'] = self.root.get('resultType')
self.properties['virtualPath'] = self.root.get('virtualPath')
self.properties['hash'] = self.root.get('hash')
self.properties['filehash'] = self.root.get('filehash')
self.properties['flags'] = self.root.get('flags')
self.properties['assembly'] = self.root.get('assembly')
self.properties['type'] = self.root.get('type')
filedeps_elem = self.root.find('filedeps')
if filedeps_elem:
self.properties['filedeps'] = [dep.get('name') for dep in filedeps_elem.findall('filedep')]
else:
self.properties['filedeps'] = []
else:
raise ValueError("Invalid .COMPILE file format")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error reading file: {e}")
def print_properties(self):
if self.properties:
for key, value in self.properties.items():
print(f"{key}: {value}")
else:
print("No properties loaded. Call read() first.")
def write(self, new_filepath, new_properties=None):
if new_properties:
self.properties.update(new_properties)
if not self.root:
self.root = ET.Element('preserve')
for key, value in self.properties.items():
if key != 'filedeps':
self.root.set(key, str(value))
if 'filedeps' in self.properties:
filedeps_elem = ET.SubElement(self.root, 'filedeps')
for dep in self.properties['filedeps']:
dep_elem = ET.SubElement(filedeps_elem, 'filedep')
dep_elem.set('name', dep)
tree = ET.ElementTree(self.root)
tree.write(new_filepath, encoding='utf-8', xml_declaration=True)
print(f"File written to {new_filepath}")
# Example usage:
# handler = CompileFileHandler('example.COMPILE')
# handler.read()
# handler.print_properties()
# handler.write('new.COMPILE', {'hash': 'newhash'})

7. C Class for Handling .COMPILE Files
Since C does not have native classes, the following is a C++ class (as "c class" likely implies C++ for object-oriented features). It can open, decode (parse XML using tinyxml2 library; include tinyxml2.h), read properties, write a new file, and print properties to the console.
#include <iostream>
