I think we are talking about different things. No, we don't. You just don't seem to understand the concept of 'temporary' stuff ... Your original code, just without 'temporary': Type rational numerator As Integer denominator As Integer Declare Constructor() Declare Destructor() End Type Constructor...

I understand that, but I'm interested in this question which basically it turns the extra destructor is called Since the temporary 'type' (which takes the data from the locally created/destroyed 'type') is constructed at 'return time', it can only be destroyed in MAIN-code ... (in the Function you ...

*created: 140720577747840 <- @R destroyed 140720577747840 <- @R destroyed 140720577747904 ' the destructor is unnecessary from a hidden constructor No way, except you are aiming at: creating willingly, a memory leak. It is as simple as that: - what has been created (anywhere) - must be destroyed (s...

I don't see anything 'hidden', except if you refer to the Functions 'scope'.
1) in Functions scope: ctor/dtor (two times ctor, one dtor)
2) temporary 'type' (Function return) -- dtor in MAIN

@VANYA, nice try, at a April Fool's prank.

And there is of course, the good old and trusted: FBEdit (with included resource editor)!

Hi all, especially if we're doing a simple console application, it is not necessary to always #Include "Windows.bi". The very same applies of course also, to Frameworks of any 'colour or shape'. Some of us (including myself) simply don't want those approx. 1.5 MB of predefinitions. There i...

Don't understand where you are aiming at because, FreeBASIC is hosted on SourceForge & GitHub ???
Are 2 platforms insufficent, do you need more?

critical fact: the sockaddr data structure port field uses reverse byte order This isn't really news: network byte order = big endian, AMD/Intel CPU's = little endian (all not network related stuff).

@chris319, whatever 'commands' you issue to "Shell" (FB-KeyWord), are handed over to the OS specific console/terminal processor. Those 'commands' are OS related and not within the scope of FB's documentation. Therfore your additions need to be deleted again, a.s.a.p. (preferably by yoursel...

Anybody have any idea why "accept" can take a connection from my own program but not from any other programs? Sorry, but without the 'codes' (server and client), there isn't any way to a decent answer ... (I'm not willing to speculate, without more 'to the point' information.) Additionall...

@dodicat,

I don't see a reason for that, you could simply stick them into a multiline comment: /' ... '/ ???
Seems to me to be a 'clean' solution (as provided by the language itself).

The test program is just a simple line: print sqr(2) When compiled and run on the terminal by ./test, it print: " 1.414213562373095" Exactly "as expected". Whenever a signed number (interger- or float-type) is 'Print'ed, there is space (for minus sign) kept. (One of the 'built-i...

What? CudaText's lexer is just syntax highlighting support. I don't know why they called it "lexer" but I think it's definitely different from the "lexer" you are talking about. That is clearly an ambigous use of a well defined meaning , which I'd call a "Language specific ...
