Thank you for the info.

Hi the.weavster,

Regarding transactions, I think it can be done, here's a link to a site with some VB code using access/transaction server.

Also aXend did some useful preliminary work that may help you with this vis purebasic (he uses ...

Thank you. I'll look at that.

Do you have any plans to allow linking .obj and etc files "as is" in the compile process?

Thanks.

lol!

At least you have a label. I'm still an undefined reference.

Hi fsw,

Thanks for the response. :)

Actually what I am wishing for re libraries is:

Those in purelibraries/userlibraries treated as is, that is they remain as a sort of extension of the language.

But also libraries outside of that area that must be specifically referenced in code, a directive ...

@DoubleDutch

Yes! Thanks!

And this would be probably remain valid for as long as PuerBasic uses fasm.

I'm not sure, but if think what Tension wants to make is not creating .obj or .lib with Purebasic (even if that would be a cool feature !!), but he wants to include .obj or .lib in a Purebasic project without having to do that with the PurebasicLibraries
I thought Tension was talking about using ...

Good marketing for RB, IMHO.

Agree and agree. Good point and good assessment.

Hi fsw,

Thanks for the response, although I am not sure I fully understand the issues.

If you or I create an obj file for inclusion into our PureBasic programs, how does that jeapordise PureBasic?

PureBasic can already recognise libs created via tailbite, or through the manipulation of .obj, so ...

Would it be possible for version 4 to support another library approach, using .obj files and then linking them in.

People could create an .obj as a library.

Programs could have a directive up top like:
CompilerModule "myPath/myLib"
and link in myLib.obj.

Is this feasible? Likely? Pipedream?

It ...

I'm not sure how fast PB's Select statement is,
but it is a pretty fast way to do conditional code.
alternatively one could use if, elseif/else, endif.
Last time I checked this (pre 3.93) If .. elseif outperformed select . But it was some time and some updates ago.

The idea of using structures is ...

Hmm, Tension. Isn't that exactly the same as normally using a procedure? I'm not sure (ask Fred) but I believe that once compiled a PB program actually uses CallFast internally :P
You could be right.

Worth a shot though. Then at least Ralf will have the satisfaction of knowing he tried everything ...

Ralf,

Perhaps CallFunctionFast would give some improvement of speed, something like:

Procedure myB( .... )
..
EndProcedure

global myBaddr

myBaddr=@myB()

Procedure myFuncA( .. )
..
CallFunctionFast(myBaddr, ...)
EndProcedure

etc
Forgive typos - also check the manual as I just typed this in ...
