Yeah, or perhaps, 'Create 10 rows of integer pointers var myMemArray = new integer ptr[10] 'Add 10 columns of integers to each row for i as integer = 0 to 9 myMemArray[i] = new integer[10] next 'Add some data to the memory segment for i as integer = 0 to 9 for j as integer = 0 to 9 myMemArray[i][j] ...

Hi badidea, it can be a bit confusing. At the moment an array member acts like a fixed-length string member (as opposed to a variable-length string member), its elements are stored as part of the object and contribute to its size (so resizing wouldn't make sense even if it did somehow "work&quo...

kiyotewolf, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, I wish you the best of luck.

Hi, all. Thanks rdc and everyone else for the excellent tips and tricks. If anyone is interested in seeing how polymorphism can be achieved, this old thread demos some FB code linking directly to C++ code and using a pair of objects polymorphically by replicating g++'s virtual table (have fun !): ht...

elsairon, the commented code is fine. The problem is FreeBASIC has two meanings of "constant": one is the enum-like compile-time constant declared using CONST, and the other refers to a variable -- or in your case, an array -- where the datatype itself is said to be constant. Your commente...

elsairon, if you are wanting a check to see if a value is within a lower and upper bound, you could add two additional enums that specify the first and last values, and create a function or macro that would compare the value to those two values. This is tedious as at least one of those enums needs t...

An ENUM needs a type to get passed to a parameter list (or to be used in an OPERATOR OVERLOAD). Since the type of an ENUM is INTEGER, it has the known INTEGER range from -2^31 to 2^31-1. Some (I imagine marcov being one) would say this is just an implementation detail, and is of concern only to tho...

- why can I assign an OUT OF BOUNDS integer value to an enum type? So despite it being an integer internally, that is not an excuse to not enforce the bounds of the enum type. I think the problem there lies in the fact that enums are often used for bit flag values (integers that are powers of two) ...

Excellent, thanks for the clarification, fxm.

If I understand the situation correctly, SCREEN shouldn't need the prefix under #lang qb" (it's a QB function), so this looks like a bug ? By the way, also like QB, procedure definitions are declarations as well, so you could write, #lang "qb" sub add( a, b, c ) print a + b + c end su...

I find it difficult to see QB64 being more beginner-friendly than FreeBASIC, as it exists and is designed primarily to run legacy QB code out of the box. This has forced some odd-looking code, like prefixing QB64-specific keywords with an underscore (what do beginners know or care about QB ?). Would...

I can see your point about navigation links, and how users could get lost from time to time. I believe something like that can be done by a site admin: http://docs.wikkawiki.org/WikkaMenus#hn_Legacy_navigation_links_Wikka_1.1.X I don't know how flexible our old wiki software is. A few years ago code...

Heh, well, I can't explain why someone would completely ignore the entire right side of the table of contents page time and time again, but I know very little about psychology (next to nothing, actually). You seem to have some ideas how the wiki could be improved. What would be most helpful is to li...

Great news, v1ctor. Keep up the excellent work !

Hi, TESLACOIL. Just took a look at your site. Looks fine to me, good luck with it. I do have to say, however, that the FreeBASIC Wiki we have does support many of the ideas you are trying to implement with your site. At the very least, things like FB & QB differences, FAQs and programming tips a...
