I think Fred talked about a module/endmodule keyword (for a future version) wich looked like a kind of namespace

i can't have an array of lists, or a list of arrays etc...

the linkedlist syntax itself is ugly
the same goes for arrays

It's been a while since the last time i wrote some midi code but i've fixed some bugs and improved some features. Now i would like to handle asynchronous midi files but i can't find any clear documentation and i don't even have asynchronous files to even make some tests. So i have made a small ...

if it's replaced by the Resident viewer i'm suggesting you won't need it anymore...

Maybe it's not clear but suggest a viewer which shows :
- constants
- structures
- interfaces
- prototypes
- macros

i also ask for features informing :
- which resident file contains the elements listed above
- in ...

The embedded structure viewer tool is way too old. A resident viewer would be far better. Something which could allow to choose the the resident we want to "view" with options for unicode and subsystems. Something also able to show macros and prototypes (anything you can find in a res file)

you're right. It would be better. I'll update these entrys to do that. Thanks for the tip.

I'm the one who should thank for the tip

Dri

if you want a more readable code you can do things like that :
*hDIB.BITMAPINFOHEADER = AllocateMemory(bhsize + (ncolors*4) + (pitch*height))

;[...]

*hDIB\biSize = SizeOf(BITMAPINFOHEADER)
*hDIB\biWidth = width
*hDIB\biHeight = height
*hDIB\biPlanes = 1
*hDIB\biBitCount = bitcount
*hDIB ...

if you want a comparison :
i remember of having got the "inf" value in script languages (java, ecmascript, ...) and from compiled languages (C)

imho since a float division by 0.0 gives consistent results it shouldn't be forbidden

Dri

with this code i get an error at run time but not with this one but still i can't do that because the compiler says that division by zero is forbidden even for floats is it possible to remove this check ?

Dri

it's weird indeed
a.q
cube.q
a=1
Repeat
a+1
cube=a*a*a
Until cube <> Pow(a,3)
Debug a
Debug cube
Debug Pow(a, 3)

[EDIT]
i got it !
pow is interpreted as a float in the test and as a double in the debug
a.q = 257

cube_q.q = a * a * a
cube_f.f = a * a * a
cube_d.d = a * a * a

Debug cube_q ...

modifying static strings is a matter that have already been discussed
and PokeS is unchecked (just like others memory functions)

It's just that i realized *pointer.s could be used this way!

Dri

Thanks to this topic I've learned something about string pointers.
Here is a code to sum up how to modify static/dynamic strings :
Procedure ModString(*sa.s)
PokeS(@*sa, "123456789")
EndProcedure

sp1.s
sp1 = "purebasic"

sp2.s
sp2 = "purebasic"

ModString(@sp2)

Debug sp2

ModString(@"purebasic ...
