Good stuff, im on the verge of building myself a nice steampunk victioriana box to house my Surfer/HTPC , be silent biatch! I recommend going for a good wireless mouse and having some usb leads feeding up from the back of the desk making it easier to plug in sticks/external hdrives, webcams, mics w...

This is completely unrelated to freebasic but a fun distraction just the same. Last year I bought a new desk and after putting it together I immediately took it apart and started drilling holes, sawing out blocks and generally hacking one side of it up. Some people already know of this project of mi...

True enough, I suppose I should have said it calls itself based on a list of source parameters.
Anyway, the point is that it compiles each module individually and lets the linker...link...them... :|

I think the defining part is if you use separate compilation units or not? Are multiple .o files generated,or just one, IOW can you compile the program in parts, or only in one go? I'm not sure what you mean by this. The only way you could compile it in "one go" would be to include source...

fbc has a library which ships with it called "gfxlib2." Check the "fbgfx" section of the wiki out.

I break individual parts into individual files. With large classes I will break it into several files all with a related directory structure. Using an IDE like FBEdit it makes it much simpler to develop projects. If a single part becomes more complex I may break it into it's own project and build it...

Short answer, no. Database engines are quite complex and typically designed to be accessed by multiple processes simultaneously (such as MySQL, MS SQL Server, etc). Smaller single instance libraries like SQLite can be statically linked but it is still an external library. If your project is small an...

whoops, server changed the filename cases and didn't like the original CamelCase. Fixed now.

Code Provided: Reader-Writer Locks Tagged FIFO Queue Thread Pooler ----- Reader-Writer Locks A read-write lock mechanism (many reader, one writer) which allows multiple threads to read the same resource but only one thread can actively write. When a reader acquires the lock is enters a critical sect...

...i can tell that my mutex-lock stuff probably isnt optimal i need to find a lock-free solution, or make some kind of simple queueing I have a freebasic implementation of reader-writer locks. They are very fast non-blocking read locks and a invoke a mutual exclusion on write locks (many reader, on...

See my last post before: Since fbc 0.17, string fields in UDT are pseudo-objects, which are constructed/destroyed by implicit constructor/destructor. Before fbc 0.17 (up to fbc 0.16), var-len string was not allowed inside a Type. I did read your posts, but after sitting behind keyboards for more th...

I may be mistaken but I had thought the .23 gcc backend supported "extends" (and thus the basis of inheritance). I didn't test it since I don't use the gcc backend, however. As to deallocating strings explicitly, I've been using fb for quite a while (when did it first get release?) and thu...

Last sentence of '§ 'description': A type alias can be used to allow forward declarations of User Defined Types, but only used with pointers . So...is there a question or just restating the documentation? I just don't understand your comment is all. If it's a question the answer is simple. As a for...

In case you really do want to do benchmarks, it is important to note that benchmarks are only applicable to algorithms, not compilers. You create multiple algorithms to complete the same task and benchmark those. Benchmarking how many times the CPU can increment a memory location is not a benchmark ...

First you need the raw benchmark numbers, then you can dig a little deeper. Actually, first you define your problem and related data associated with your problem. Next you determine your conditions and restrictions (such as hardware systems, operating systems, language choice). Then you break your ...
