hello codelab I can't reproduce the error the code you posted -- reproduced below -- gives -443815497.152174 I don't have the build script anymore, it's been a long time, I tried the Windows cmd prompt but it won't accept wildcards when invoking gcc, so this won't work gcc -O2 -shared -static -o lib...

Hi codelab, welcome to the FreeBasic Forum
I think that this is the latest QuadMath
I don't know what error you are getting, could it it be a duplicated definition?
what are your goals?

see https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics ... simulator/
Richard Russel author of bbc Basic wrote a nice version in bbc Basic, but their Forum is down so I can't post a link

I agree, the whole thread should be deleted.

thanks deltarho[1859]
time and date are interesting contraptions.

@deltarho[1859]
in addition to the lines of code you mention, you also need to add
dim as SystemTime stUTCTime
after that, it gives the expected result

there's probably some kind time-zone adjustment made which throws off the date and time
if I change the base-year to 1800 then the following input
TestTime = Type(1809, 2, 0, 12, 0 ,0 ,0 ,0)
gives
287625600000

Hello deltarho[1859] good job, but for fun try February 12, 1809 SystemTimeToEpochTime fails, however, if I get the Epochtime from https://www.epochconverter.com/ -> -5077000999000 and plug that value in EpochTimeToSystemTime( Epochtime, True ) it correctly prints the date Sunday, 12 February 1809 i...

so if I find a snippet in MS help on the web that has an example like #include <winbase.h> #include <winnt.h> #include <time.h> void UnixTimeToFileTime(time_t t, LPFILETIME pft) { // Note that LONGLONG is a 64-bit value LONGLONG ll; ll = Int32x32To64(t, 10000000) + 116444736000000000; pft->dwLowDate...

A small example, please. sorry for being so late, at the time I couldn't come up with a simple and short example, but today I came across some problems, try to compile the following #include once "win/winbase.bi" #include once "win/winnt.bi" #include once "crt/time.bi"...

hi deltarho[1859] what would also be handy is a list of register usage on Windows and Linux, I mean the registers used as parameters to functions. for example, x64 Windows uses rcx, rdx, r8 and r9 while Linux uses rdi, rsi, rdx and rcx the list is probably not complete but gives an idea it would be ...

interesting and informative, thank you deltarho[1859] :-)
