PureBasic Forums - English

I'm very happy what direction purebasic goes.
The C Backend opens it, that's really great!

Me too, I'm waiting for the next alpha - this bug is fixed.

There was a talk about it in german forum too: https://www.purebasic.fr/german/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=32375

My conclusion:

Imagine that you can return from a procedure at multiple positions (that kinda sounds strange, but has nothing arousing).
In pb->asm you can do that with that jump marks ...

Will we be able to procedurereturn structs?
In C it's possible, so that could be a thing, or?

One thing for sure:
The C backend seems to be really promising!


I love this! It's exciting!

I think the only good way to support ARM platforms with a Basic alike dialect would be a transpiler solution, aka Spiderbasic, but as target language C.
Take a look at nim-lang, it has C, C++, ObjC, JS targets - it's possible to write baremetal with it, you can turn off the gc and manage your data ...

Hi!
I've just read about the plans to implement a c backend.
I enjoy!

Smart phones be the future. PB doesn't support this devices.

Arm devices are the future.
I guess x86 will die or will be emulated on future arm devices.

Hi BasicallyPure,

I've used your code in my own little Morse Learning program:

Hi!

I've written a small program to help learning morse code.
It's not finished, but usablel. It's missing special characters like Á...
Future versions will be edited inside this post here.

It features a REPL (read eval print loop - shell alike) for recognizing commands and text to morse.
It doesn ...

Just for fun, uncomplete morse repl:

Global speedms.f = speed * 1000
Global ditsnd.i = CreateSound(#PB_Any, 1000, speed, 25, 0, #WF_SineWave, 0, 1)

I know, old thread, but this rocks!

Hi!

I use GetDatabaseString() to extract data of an sqlite database.
Is there a way to select an encoding, because the data seems to be aweful odd. I would like to try out reading in latin-1, utf8, etc.

Thank you, Gregor

Dang! 5.20 release and fresh gta...

... that means goodbye reallife

Thank you for all your hard work!
