PureBasic Forums - English

What about using the right forum section for feature requests ? :)
It's already on your "TODO", you told me ... few years ago. So no feature request to add. I'm just disappointed to wait this little stuff since 12 years. :?
I wish I could have access to network library source code, adding this to ...

One more time, no network library with blocking socket OR asynchronous callback ?
We still have to do Delay(100) in main network loop, to prevent stealing whole CPU, in a 2015 language ?

****** joke.

Hello,

Handle = CreateJSON(#PB_Any)
If Handle
If ParseJSON(Handle, "{}")
EndIf
FreeJSON(Handle)
EndIf


When you run this code with debugger, it breaks and says "[ERROR] #JSON object number is very high (over 10000), are You sure of that ?"
Not a big issue, but annoying because it pauses ...

Thanks for sharing your code. I already coded my own network library, but I was wondering if there is a 100% PB solution, without calling API from OS. Seems not. :cry:

I can't understand why Fred does not include an option to make blocking socket in official PB network library. Wtf seriously in ...

There are no delay()s in the examples. Why do you use them?

As far as code goes, i've only seen serial data transfers use delay() because they don't have a 'listening' layer as networking protocols do - it works more like a timing layer in which delay() is useful. In that sense, properly ...

Hello,

Is there a clean and cross platform way to wait for network events without using Delay() in loop (with NetworkClientEvent() or NetworkServerEvent()) and without using all cpu ? :evil:

I run a linux server coded in pure basic, and if I use a Delay(1) in network loop it will use a bit too ...

Hello,

I want to know how to resize a gadget to fit it to any Windows font size configuration ?! :?
I tried this kind of code :
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 200, 200, "", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget)
ComboBoxGadget(1, 0, 0, 100, 100)
AddGadgetItem(1, -1, "String #1 ...

Yes you are right, it calls FindFirstFile(). But it should not. That's not a reliable behaviour.

Hello all,

Look at this simple line of code :

Debug Hex(FileSize("*.jpg"))

If you run it in a directory where it resides some "jpg" picture, it will not returns "-1" error code (file not found), but the size a jpg. :shock: :shock:
Since when the parameter of FileSize() is not a filepath but ...

Thank you Dare & Trond.

You can do any procedure you want (in pure basic or asm), but this is not a good way. It should be fixed in "low level" by Fred... unsigned is a must have for any programming language.

Do you really want to code a big app by that way :

b = $FFFFFFFF
a = (Div(Div(b, 53), 23 ...

Thank you, I knew for both solution...but the quad is not a solution (if I have the same problem with quad what I do ? :D +very slow with quad !), and the asm one make the source code quite bad to read and implement (the division by 2 was just an easy example, I have a lot of division to do and not ...

Hello,

How can I do a unsigned division with long ?
PureBasic handles only signed value, so it will output -2 / 2 = -1 = $FFFFFFFF
But how can I get the good result ($7FFFFFFF) ?

Thank you.

Dare, I wanted the integer part, so when I want the integer part of 2.7, I will not get the accurate result with your +0.5 trick :P

I repeat for everybody !
When I do this :

Test.f = 1.50
For i = 1 To 5
Test + 0.30
Next i

You agree that Test should be equal to 3.00 right ? (1.50 + (0.30 * 5 ...

I am sorry guys, but your fix seems to be wrong
If I have the float value 2.7 and I want the integer part "2", doing Round(2.7 + 0.5, 0) will return me "3" instead of "2"

You can't fix the float bad accuracy by adding a constant value

I am not a newbie, I knew why it was bugged Psychophanta :wink:

Derek, I cannot use double for 2 reasons :
- my project is big (5000+ lines) and I use float since the beginning (so many many stuffs to change, and maybe new bug :shock: )
- double doesn't really fix the issue, it hides it better :D ...
