Hi, I got a Warning: (FB105/x64 Win) "C:\PRG\FBC\fbc -i \prg\fbc\tdlib -p \prg\fbc\tdlib -s console -b "problemAddress.bas" problemAddress.bas(3) warning 23(2): Array too large for stack, consider making it var-len or SHARED" commenting out the String array: 'REM' Dim As String d...

Hi, With Windows: Question: Why put a END/STOP/SYSTEM at the end of the code ? It is best not to put anything at all ! Maybe to explicitly pass the returncode / errorcode to the OS? :) BTW: System, Stop and End produce all the same code (FBCx64 /WIN): mov ecx, 0 ' the "0" can be set by (re...

hi. @Badidea: "Sunday-08-April-2018 22-14-36 "-" for time is a bit weird." Not, if you want the output as part of a file name :) @mr Swiss Speed might be an issue if you ask maybe 100 times per second for the current DateTime. As soon as you write to Screen or a file, the writing...

Hi, Thank you all for the answers. But I think my question was too less precise. My "function-macro" (let us call it "change_it()" would consist of a couple of lines, with IFs and ELSEs (NOT #if !) and a call to a real function, so that one-liners won´t work. The result can not b...

Hallo,
Same : NO waiting after sleep; Ubuntu 16.04, as subsystem on WIN10 :)

Hi, I didn´t find a way to make a MACRO call to look/work like a function. The idea is from the CHM reference for va_arg: *** variable =va_arg ( argument_list, datatype ) Description The va_arg MACRO allows the use of a variable number of arguments within a function. va_arg returns the current argum...

Hi Paul, well done. Don´t bother about LUA etc.; this wasn´t your aim, I think. The code is easily readable, and your comments simply are excellent. For those who are a bit afraid of handling DLLs, a few lines of code which transform your DLL-Sources into testable EXEs. Just append the code to your ...

Hi, no idea about the reason, but: On my PC prog#2 crashes with x32 as well as with x64, both FB 1.05/Win But: I found a "magic number", so others don´t need to try out: 26170 (last good one), 26171 (and above: crash) And: it is NO matter of memory; tried in VM with 2 to 8 GB, and even exp...

Hi,
just to make it "solved" ?? Adi

Hi Gablea, At first glance, I thought you only have 512 KILO bytes. No chance, I thought. But then I re-read your post. 512 MB / machine. Fine. The Best Solution: try to install OS/2 32 Bit. It runs several DOS instances with really good performance, and: stable. but... where to get it these days? A...

Hi, truncate for Win , Linux: no idea 'trunc ' notDOCed, but works: truncate, ' found somewhere in the C-RTL ' WIN only :( #Include "File.bi" ' for "Filelen()" declare function truncate Cdecl alias "truncate" ( _ byval __file as zstring ptr, _ byval __length as LongInt ...

@mr swiss reading manual is fine. even finer is to have a try : Function dummy() As TypeOf ( Err () ) Err=99:Return Err() End function Print "Initital ERR: ";Err() Err=222:Print Err Err=111:Var xxx=dummy() Print Err(); " =" ;xxx Sleep:STOP just to remember: after each single IO-a...

Hi, @seafriend , I´m with you. @lizard,you asked: » Feb 27, 2018 13:55 "Why would one want to compile two .bas files in one executable? The second could be #included in the first. Mostly it contains functions, subs and such. Additionally .o, .rc or other files could be linked in. :-)" Why?...

Hi Chung, thank you, but : ()\ld.exe: skipping incompatible ./glext.dll when searching for -lglext ()\ld.exe: skipping incompatible ./glext.dll when searching for -lglext Make done I couldn´t find a precompiled glext.dll for x64. Neither "here" nor "there" nor "anywhere"...

Hi Chung, I like your approach to simplify GUI programming. If you agree, I (or others) will use your code, modify and maybe in some years re-publish it :) Question: Is there any _easy to understand_ DLL / LIB for displaying pictures with win64 that could be used instead of the "old" JPG D...
