Simplistic description of MAPS: If you save/retrieve via a map key, it is translated via a hash routine in a real number, which is used to identify the storage location. As you can imagine the translation of the map key doesn't create a unique numer, there migth be collisions, which mean an ...

Resurrecting an old thread--I was looking for a preprocessor/precompiler to use "variable constants" at compile time, and ran into this.

I tested it with the modified Version again and it smoothly fitted into PB RUN/Create Exe processes. I checked the Tool settings again, there might be a problem ...

Resurrecting an old thread--I was looking for a preprocessor/precompiler to use "variable constants" at compile time, and ran into this.

Is anybody else using this version? It does not seem to work with pb5--it acts as if the Syntax Checker is running before the precompiler does, so I get syntax ...

I don't know a way to distinct a literal from a variable as after compiling they are both given values.
So the following code distincts only between given and not given using a default argument.
enableExplicit
Macro DQ()
"
EndMacro
#EMPTYSTRING="~"
Macro MyMacro(p=#EMPTYSTRING)
if p=#EMPTYSTRING ...

I try to find a reliable way, if a Macro parameter is set, or empty or contains the default value. Reason I want to treat the coding to be produced depending on it. I tried several proposals, but couldn't find a solution, which suits all variations. Maybe I overlooked something and someone has a ...

Congrats Danilo, this is really nice coding!

I personally think a "gosub"-like function within procedures has some benefits:
- it allows to structure complex coding, by doing perform step1, perform step2, etc. and keep the called sub procedures separate
- it allows to re-use coding where just some "input"-variables change, without duplicating ...

I had the use of dynamic multi arrays (matrixes). Neither number of matrixes, nor their dimensions are known in the program (I use it to play with matrix arithmetic). As described in http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=57067&hilit=dynamic+Arrays it is possible to emulate a multi ...

... there is always something
This was exactly the reason! Thanks for quick any easy solution!
Now my DLL perfectly runs !

Hello,

when passing a string to a DLL (also PB), only the first character is received in the DLL. I was able to reproduce it with one of the Help examples:

Prototype.i ProtoMessageBox(Window.i, Body$, Title$, Flags.i = 0)
If OpenLibrary(0, "User32.dll")
MsgBox.ProtoMessageBox = GetFunction(0 ...

* modified 23. February 2017 unicode compatible
In some situations an extended pre compiler support would be useful. I specially missed CompilerGoto, CompilerSet and labels, these additional functions would allow iterativ code line generation.
As the PB Editor greatly allows the integration of your ...
