I'm far from a Lua expert but my understanding of the "Lua way" of doing things is to use coroutines (lua threads). Each coroutine will have their own stack but share global data.

Thus you can have much fewer PB-threads, e.g. 1000 lua threads and 10 PB threads = 10 000 lua threads

With fewer PB ...

You can use atomic operations for writing to variables from multiple threads without using a mutex.

As we have 2 version, it makes sense than the console version would be without GUI. That said, you can use the '-q' flag (quiet) which should solve your requester issue.


Sorry for forgetting to mention, the q quiet flag doesn't work in this case. Already tested that.

Calling Assert() with a falsy expression or Fail() inside a module triggers a GUI alert (MessageRequester) when calling PureUnit.exe from the command line.

Test case

test.pbi

Procedure MyProcedure()
Assert(#False)
EndProcedure

DeclareModule MyModule
Declare MyProcedure()
EndDeclareModule ...

For completeness, without the overengineering

EnableExplicit

Enumeration
#WINDOW
#TEXT
EndEnumeration

Enumeration #PB_Event_FirstCustomValue
#MESSAGE
EndEnumeration

Procedure AddMessagesThread(*notused)
Protected i, *buffer.String

Repeat
Delay(100)
i + 1
*buffer = AllocateStructure ...

For your second example you need no lists and no Mutex.
In the thread allocate a buffer, poke a string into it and send it by PostEvent() to the window queue.
In the window queue pick the buffer, peek the string and free the memory.
Nothing can collide here


Correct. I just wanted to avoid ...

Here is another example where we instead of using a semaphore we use PostEvent() to send an event

Global NewList messages.s()
Global mutex

Enumeration
#WINDOW
#TEXT
EndEnumeration

Enumeration #PB_Event_FirstCustomValue
#MESSAGE
EndEnumeration

Procedure AddMessagesThread ...

Here is an example of using TrySemaphore() within the main event loop that we don't want to block

EnableExplicit

Global NewList messages.s()
Global mutex
Global semaphore

Enumeration
#WINDOW
#TEXT
EndEnumeration

Procedure AddMessagesThread(*notused)
Protected i
Repeat
Delay(1000)

I managed to get it working for the original ASM backend by adding this line.

!public _Procedure0 as 'multiplier'

I figured this out by digging around in the forum and looking at the asm output.

To my limited understanding, by exporting multiplier with ProcedureDLL we get a symbol called ...

I wonder if this is possible with PureBasic, the idea is that create a static library in another language and to compile that with PureBasic to a binary and avoid any extra dynamic dll files. The static library exports functions that PureBasic imports but the static library also imports procedures ...

What does an administrative user do with these ids? The administrative user cannot really share these with anyone, like over the phone, because they are local to his running instance.

Thus one solution is to remap these numbers with your own Map where you can use any sequence you like as long as ...

About your database schema, do you store any large blobs together with other columns? If you do consider either store on blob directly on disk or have blobs in separate table. This helps performance when querying and updating tables by moving blobs to separate table.

Check you indexes, typically a ...

If there are many client programs sending SQL to the same database over a network, then use a client/server database engine instead of SQLite. SQLite will work over a network filesystem, but because of the latency ...
