PureBasic Forums - English

Thanks, I guessed it meant you simply handle the threading on your own as with any project.

Now another simple question, but for some reason I can't find the answer on forum or docs. How can I change the HTTP status that is returned with the cgi response? I may want to return http 204 or 400 etc...

I'm messing about with FastCGI without much trouble (thank you PB) I am assuming requests coming in can be handled on multiple threads, but I'm not sure what this somewhat vague statement in the InitFastCGI section of the docs means:

This library support threaded FastCGI processing, when enabling ...

Okay let me ask another way...

The OnError system is apparently not what I'm looking for, now that I understand its scope.

There is also the debugging system. In the event of a programming error (a bug! yes, we all let one escape into the wild now and then), If I compile a program with debugging ...

I have an application that crashes, as in completely disappears with no errors, no warning, even though I have OnErrorCall() in place. I was hoping OnErrorCall allowed for unexpected errors to be trapped in a handler so I could do a graceful exit and log the event.

The application creates a PDF ...

Thanks for all the new PB features! I don't know how much work this is for the creators, but I'll ask: are there any plans to update the full documentation PDF available on website with the latest PB features/libraries?

I use the online help, but have found when I'm completely clueless, as in don't ...

Hello all, I searched variously and did not see this reported, but not sure how to describe it properly. Often when at a break point in IDE I hover the mouse over a variable name to see its value in the tool tip. I had a half hour of confusion one day when a variable value was coming up incorrectly ...

It would be nice if a Map could be optionally set into a state where a search for a non-existent item would not create that item with a default value. In other words this situation:

NewMap xTest.s()

If xTest("foo")="bar" ; if for whatever reason I want to test if a map element has a certain value ...

I've been searching, sometimes simple answers hardest to find... After I've added text to an editorgadget, either through multiple calls to AddGadgetItem, or with one call to SetGadgetText (where the string contains multple CRLFs) ...how do I get the editorgadget to automatically scroll to the ...

I have a project where I need to access a local SQLite database, and transfer data to a remote ODBC database. Is it possible to call both UseODBCDatabase() and UseSQLiteDatabase() in the same application so that I can connect to either db as needed with OpenDatabase?

What is the theory behind choosing a buffer size to use for sending and receiving data (tcp connections.)

Is there some wisdom in choosing larger or smaller sizes? Right now both my client and server appear to work fine with either 2k or 16k buffers. I'm guessing if I call ReceiveNetworkData with ...

Really? Well then PB should probably get a "DateQ" library out there ASAP because I'd rather be getting back 8 byte dates.

Anyway it was just an example. But it's also a mystery where other "handles" come from. When I get a handle back for a new network client connection, that handle is an integer ...

Yes preserve existing EnableExplicit, just perhaps make a new keyword that would trigger explicit types as well.

Let's have different opinions, but I personally don't like the default type, whether integer or otherwise. And since (apparently) I didn't read the docs well enough early on, I was under ...

According to the PureBasic.pdf docs (page 358)

A long is ALWAYS 4 bytes

An integer is 4 bytes on 32-bit CPUs and 8 bytes on 64-bit machines

...and the default type is integer, meaning you don't know if it is 4 or 8 bytes (technically) So for all of my handles, I probably should have been using 8 ...

I understand that EnableExplicit forces the developer to define their variables:

Define foo

...but this is not a definition, there is no type, so it is assumed to be integer. This has caused me to accidentally define types as integers because of typos (forgetting the type)

I'd appreciate an ...

Awww nuts, stupid question time.

For PureBasic built in library procedures that return "handles" to things, you know databases, images, memory blocks whatever, what data type should I be using? I just realized as I was looking over the docs that I was mistaken about something.

While I'm at it I'll ...
