dodicat, 32 bit seems to be the same either optimised or not (32 fps) Note that optimising with the official 32 bit compiler gives (32 fps and 38 fps) There is a difference between 'official' and 'nightly' builds. The latest 'official' builds in 32/64 bits, come complete with GCC in the package (sin...

Above __FB_BUILD_DATE__ and __FB_BUILD_DATE_ISO__ is correct. Below is not correct: Code: Select all #Print __FB_BUILD_DATE_ISO___ ' NOT resolved yet '#Print __FB_BUILD_DATE___ I don't want to give away the surprise ... look closely. :P Yea, you're correct. As always, the details (one underline too...

Seriously ???
I don't see a viable 'use-case' for such a small range (of ULongInt).

For your requirement, the ULong range macro does the trick:

Code: Select all

    Print u64max - u32rng(0, 3)

In short: yes, correct.

Advice: always connect devices first (perhaps before booting even), then start program.

MrSwiss

Maybe you could provide a main code example for a range at the top of ulongint. No problem at all. It even uses one of the Const's. ;-) rangemacs_test.bas: ' rangemacs_test.bas -- (c) 2021-09-01, MrSwiss #Include "rangemacs.bi" ' helpers: ranging macro's & const's Randomize( , 5) ' ==...

MrSwiss

Am I missing something MrSwiss? You don't use the constants. Correct, but they are just 'helpers' for 'main' code (this is only a include-file, after all). You cannot really escape the fact that rnd returns a double. What am I missing with your method? I'm actually forcing Double processing, in the...

MrSwiss

I've by chance stumbled over an issue with commonly used RANGE macros. Cost me some hours searching, to figure the issue out, which is related to datatype 'overflow'. It is one of those nasty 'edge cases' who only very seldom 'crop up'. Typical ULong ranger: #Define u32rng(l, h) CULng(Int(Rnd * ((h)...

It's however different, if the device is plugged in, after program start ...

AFAIK: yes, because the OS first ENUMERATES the USB-device, before it releases it, for Application-Communication (enumeration seems always to be slow).

MrSwiss

No one ever said, that this is for Beginners (a weak argument anyhow). VAR can easily be forced to be of a wanted datatype (by those that know "the basics of datatypes"). There are in fact three prerequisites to success: 1) knowledge of all Standard Datatypes (of FreeBASIC) 2) coercion &am...

Windows internal data-types: wrote: UINT
An unsigned INT. The range is 0 through 4294967295 decimal.
This type is declared in WinDef.h as follows:
typedef unsigned int UINT;

Equivalents of UINT are:
(Windows) UINT32, DWORD (and, probably more ...)
(FreeBASIC) ULong, UInteger<32> (without size specifier it's simply wrong)

MrSwiss

I'm assuming you're on Windows. 1) don't use the U/Integer data-type to interface with C/C++ (WIN-API) use U/Long instead. ( U/Integer is always ptr-size, not fixed-size, which is expected) 2) 32-bit Color is always ULong (consists of 4 x UByte). 3) use Extern "windows-ms" in DLL-code (32-...

@coderJeff, thanks for the answer. More involved resolution than first assumed by myself. ... What's the bug? What IDE? FBIDE, the bug is well known, no "upper case" command line options accepted (all converted to "lower case" I think). Example: fbc -gen gcc -O n someprog.bas (ca...
