PureBasic Forums - English

I didn't read the whole article because it's classic bragging blog, by empirical testing using the gcc compiler 64-bit is almost always faster than 32-bit, obviously the programs are going to be bigger.

if a.o is a 32-bit object then try the following
gcc -m32 -shared -o a.dylib a.o

if that don't work you could try and make a dylib, copy the a.o file to some temp folder and then launch the terminal, cd to to the temp folder and issue the following command
gcc -shared -o a.dylib a.o
the reason for using gcc instead of ar is that gcc will try to find dependencies if any.

i am stumped, it compiles just fine on my machine.
does anyone else have problems compiling the updated routine

actually the manual states:

RSet()

Syntax

Result$ = RSet(String$, Length [, Character$])
Description

Pads a string to the right, and adds 'space' characters to fit the specified length. The optional 'Character$' parameter can be used to replace 'space' with another character. If the string is ...

updated: now there's no need to have inline asm enabled,
also, the factorial function would return 0 for 0!, it's now fixed.

added logical operators <, <=, ==, <>, >=, >

operator returns 0 for false and 1 for true.

hi TronDoc, i realize there's not enough documentation.
to answer your question:
x$=eval("#pi/4") ;x$ now holds "7.85398163397448309e-1"
x$=eval("#e") ;x$ = "2.718281828459045"
x$=eval("a=(1/2)!") x$ = "8.86226925452758013e-1"
also "a" holds "8.86226925452758013e-1"
x$=eval("a^2*4") = "3 ...

this is largely a cludge, but someone might find it useful.
feel free to to rip it appart and use in any way you want.
