No Bug.

Floats have only 24 significant bits, which means you can store integer numbers just until ~ 16 mio.
Your integer number needs more than 26 bits, so the last binary digits are lost during your calculation and the number (even the integer part) becomes inaccurate.

You can use Double, they ...

I do understand that the decimal part of floats can be iffy but the integer part failing like this looks way too iffy to me.

There has been some kind of regresion/bug in how the output to the console is handled in PB6.21

The following code in PB6.20 allows you (using the arrow keys) to move the console's cursor inside the console window without filling it with garbage:


EnableExplicit

#CONSOLE_CODE_CURSOR_UP = Chr(27 ...

Many Thanks Fred,

Appreciate the bug fixing on Linux a lot.

You can check this file to see all the supported terminals, may be there is a new one on your distro: https://github.com/fantaisie-software/purebasic/blob/devel/PureBasicIDE/LinuxMisc.pb


If I can make a suggestion having the IDE look for an environment variable to determine the terminal would ...

Works fine on Arch Linux PB 6.20

Thanks for the suggestion, this is useful too.

Hi Fred,

Good news, can't seem to trigger it in a loop.

After doing some more testing I've narrowed it down to this:


EnableExplicit

Structure uds_leak
test.a
List lst_list.s()
EndStructure

Define test.uds_leak


Basically the "leak" only shows up when using types a, b, c, w & l in a ...

Hi Fred,

Can you observe the leak in a loop ? Some resources are not released at end because of the OS tracking feature which auto cleanup everything. It's especially the case when using strings as tracking them will be inefficient and memory consuming.

I will try to see if I can reproduce it in ...

I think I've found a memory leak on PB 6.12, I've tested it with two computers and can reproduce the issue on both.

One computer is running Debian 11 (Linux 6.11.5) and the other is running an Arch machine up-to-date (Linux 6.12.4)

This is the offending code that can be used to reproduce it ...

In Linux when creating and running console applications from the IDE the current Purebasic (v6.0.2) behaviour seems to be hard-coded to try to run Gnome-Terminal and if that is not available then run xterm as last resort.

In my case I have two DEs installed in my computer, Gnome-Desktop and XFCE ...

+1 I'm an arthritic sufferer too.

I have he opposite problem.

In my set-up I have both XFCE and Gnome Desktop installed, I use XFCE and need Gnome for testing.

In my case Purebasic defaults to Gnome-Terminal and in Arch Gnome-Terminal doesn't render text from Purebasic when running a terminal application from the IDE so I need to ...

Thank you so much!!!!

I knew it was my fault somehow!

Hi all,

I'm not sure if what I am doing is correct or if I have found a bug, I would like for someone else to please test this code.

This example program creates an interface and a structure and then instantiates an "object" using a virtual table.

The object is very simple and all it does is set ...
