Is it necessary to detail all this in the documentation? (maybe a simple note like above in the Programmer's Guide only?) I don't think it does after giving it some thought. The implicit lifetime functions aren't exposed to the user in any meaningful way right now, so it's not the user's business h...

There are cases where there are no constructors or copy-constructors or destructors (neither explicit nor implicit). That matches my understanding but I will note such is not mentioned in the documentation: https://www.freebasic.net/wiki/ProPgCtorsDtors#COMPCTORDTOR Accounting for that, maybe a fur...

I have a small idea for a feature request: Make procptr() capable of returning the implicit constructor/copy constructor/destructor functions. A call to procptr for a UDT's constructor (et. al.) would get either the explicit default constructor (if defined), or the implicit default one transparently...

*Some restrictions apply, see store for details* :D Good points fxm. And overloaded function types can be specifically obtained via the ProcPtr method. #print typeof(ProcPtr(udt.func, function () as any ptr)) #print typeof(ProcPtr(udt.func, function (arg1 as integer) as zstring ptr)) prints out: FUN...

For those who didn't know, typeof() can be used with functions, including overloaded and type member functions. I've personally found this valuable to enforce type safety and give more explicit error messages when passing variables to macros that expect a specific type. typeof() doc page: https://ww...

PS what sub is exactly responsible for this Matrix of 10x10 Points in a shape of a rectangle when you start the Game? Some issues ago of my example produced only one straight Line of Points ;) thx The sub responsible is printBoard() sub printBoard() cls dim i As Integer, j as integer for i = 0 to r...

Another question: will be possible to use null bytes inside a fixed length string? This would not make any sense as there is no corresponding character to the null (0) byte. Not for printing but still as a null terminator -- in a list of null terminated strings. On windows, REG_MULTI_SZ comes to mi...

Another question: will be possible to use null bytes inside a fixed length string? This would not make any sense as there is no corresponding character to the null (0) byte. What exactly would it print for that character? Furthermore any use of the crt (and certainly a lot of internal FB plumbing) ...

I'm in favor of removing fixed length "strings" altogether (not fixed length zstrings or wstrings though). I've been meaning to bring this up for a while, but there is no way to handle a fixed length string in a type erased system using a pointer unless you explicitly pun it to a zstring p...

Compile with -s gui to hide the console (windows only).

Not at my computer so I can't test but my WAG is a stack overflow. 75,000 x 24 (sizeof string on 64 bit) =1,800,000 bytes which is rather close to the 2MB default stack size compiling for 64 bit https://freebasic.net/wiki/CompilerOptt If you're on windows you should check the event viewer for the er...

Added:
- Deserializing from json
- Validating json against a UDT schema
- Pretty print for formatting json

I've finally gotten my serialization framework to the point where there's enough functionality worthy of a release. I've made the interface as "plug and play" friendly as possible so in the majority of cases you write a simple declaration of a UDT and that UDT can then immediately be seria...

I'd like to focus on that third scenario of static array in a UDT for a minute: #include "fbc-int/array.bi" Using FBC Function DescriptorPtr(Byval p As Any Ptr) As Any Ptr dim as FBARRAY ptr a = p print "Base pointer: ";p print " index_ptr: ";a->index_ptr print " b...
