@St_W and SARG: Thanks for your reactions.

@SARG: yes, your mail did arrive.

@SARG
I am looking for a place to put my FB related stuff. And I see you are using the German FreeBASIC site. How do I go about setting up an account on the German FreeBASIC server (you seem to be uploading your stuff to http://users.freebasic-portal.de/sarg/).

There is an error in my previous post.

According to the json standard a - in front of a number is allowed while a + isn't.
The example should have looked like this

I have downloaded and tested your library (trunk) and found some issues with it. First up there is the standards-compliance. The parser rejects a json file that contains a floating point number starting with a sign. Parsing the following input sets the flag _isMalformed to true (indicating parsing f...

Great find. Have you posted a bug report?

I tested your library and ran into some issues. I used the following program #define fbJson_DEBUG #include once "../../fbJson.bi" dim as jsonItem item = jsonItem("{""foo"":bar}") if item.DataType = malformed then print "problem" else print "ok&q...

I tried to compile the following code using the llvm back end Type Hello extends object Declare virtual Sub hi( ) End Type Type HelloEnglish extends Hello Declare Sub hi( ) End Type Type HelloFrench extends Hello Declare Sub hi( ) End Type Type HelloGerman extends Hello Declare Sub hi( ) End Type Su...

One of the advantages of using GTK is that you can find lots of examples on how to use it on the net. And the gtk+ repository (over at gnome git https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/ ) contains quite a few examples as well (especially the programs in the directory test are most informative). The GtkSou...

I was unaware that I was the one to 'set up' access to a git repository. I have created a user account and a repository at github.com I have sent both of you (SARG and TJF) a mail with more information regarding this account. Title of that mail is fbdebugger@github.com Looking forward to seeing the ...

@TJF I was clearly wrong about availability of glade on windows. My mistake. With 'low level' I mean classic. With the availability of glade on windows a question remains: does SARG want to use glade and the other tool(s) you used to maintain a gtk based program? Or does he want to stick with (semi-...

@TJF There is a problem with the code (I think). Looking at your code it contains gtk_builder/glade related code. Two lines of code that caught my attention are in fbdbg_tobac.bas gtk_builder_new() gtk_builder_add_from_file(GUI_MAIN.XML, "fbdbg.ui", @meld) THEN fbdbg.ui was nowhere to be f...

@SARG HTML it is then. As far as Linux is concerned: this is what I found on a quick search on the net regarding documentation on Linux There is no standard help format on Linux like there is on Windows. Most Linux applications provide a bunch of HTML files, or one large HTML file, as documentation....

Good to see things moving along. @TJF I have a question/request. Are you going to put the gui code online at http://users.freebasic-portal.de/tjf ? That way SARG and I (and other interested programmers) can have a look at it. Looking forward to trying out the new gui. Your efforts to port fbdebugger...

I think a port using GTK+ written by TJF is a good idea. With the restriction that it has to be written in 'plain' GTK+. No glade, just plain function calls to GTK+ functions (eg gtk_toolbar_new() to create the toolbar, repeated calls to gtk_tool_button_new)' to create individual tool buttons etc......

As far as debugging on Linux is concerned one look at existing Linux (gui-enabled) debuggers is enough. All of those are written as GDB - front ends. And most of those use the GDB-mi interface. GDB is also available on windows. GDB supports most of what fbdebugger supports (eg setting breakpoints, g...
