PureBasic Forums - English

Hm, on Linux it works but it also seems just to be simple StringGadget with only numbers and dots allowed. You can type anything into it.

When i works with this files, the titles can be a little bit different (French accent forgotten, comma added, typing error, additional informations, etc ...)
For example

Cindy Lauper (She bop).mp3
Cindi Lauper (She bop).mp3

Then i say to me, i must create an UNIQUE reference for each title

I don't think so. It happens basically daily and it happened again today. Totally unusable for some time. Either it takes 20-30 seconds to load or a page or just a white page appears with an error showing that the requested page has timed out.

No.

I would suggest to use longer hashes. I don't understand why you only want to use small ones.

Be aware that hashes like MD5 and especially CRC32 (because of its length) can have a lot of collisions.
Incredible !!!! :shock:
I've always been convinced that an MD5 hash couldn't produce the same result for two different sources, and that's precisely why it was created: to control the ...

I can only think of Windows vs Linux here. Windows collects data, Linux usually does not, except you want it to do so.

Be aware that hashes like MD5 and especially CRC32 (because of its length) can have a lot of collisions.
Here's an example:
UseCRC32Fingerprint()

Procedure.s CRC32_ASCII(input.s)
Protected *ascii = Ascii(input)
Protected hash.s = Fingerprint(*ascii, MemorySize(*ascii), #PB_Cipher_CRC32 ...

What's happening again? It's annoyingly slow. Loading times of 20 seconds and more.

If you need real randomness use `CryptRandom()`. It creates cryptographic secure randomness.

That's the right way to do it.

We already had discussions about OOP quite a lot in this board and I think the answer will stay the same.

I think Fred wanted you to describe what the benefits of C++26 are, not OOP or C++ in general.

These are my results:
ValD: 103 ms
_ValD: 123 ms
Using this code and with the Debugger disabled, C-backend and code optimization enabled:
EnableExplicit

ImportC ""
atof.d(*txt) As "atof"
EndImport

; Macro ValD ;-> uncomment to use new procedure instead of built-in
; _ValD
; EndMacro ...

Three things:
1. You don't measure time in Debug mode.
2. An additional function call and string conversion adds a lot of time.
3. _atof does not exist on Linux it seems. But atof does. A version for UCS-2 strings like Purebasic uses them internally seems not to be available.

Back in the day I was coding 2d games in BlitzBasic, which was really cool. But it was fullscreen only, no way to open even a simple window with a button. In their online FAQ they recommended PureBasic for such purpose. Well, it was love at first sight.
lol. That's quite exactly how I came to ...

Nice
