Read C variable in PB [Resolved]

[Kwai chang caine]

Hello at all

Now i can play with C, thanks several member of the familly
I search to passing variables betwenn C and PB

This simple code works

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()
 
 ! printf("My first hello world of C !\n\n");
 
 ! char chaine[4];
 ! chaine[0] = 'K';
 ! chaine[1] = 'C';
 ! chaine[2] = 'C';
 ! chaine[3] = '\0';
 ! printf("%s\n", chaine);
 
CloseConsole()

My first hello world of C !

KCC

But this one not

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()
 
 ! printf("My first hello world of C !\n\n");
 
 ! char chaine[4];
 ! chaine[0] = 'K';
 ! chaine[1] = 'C';
 ! chaine[2] = 'C';
 ! chaine[3] = '\0';
 ! printf("%s\n", chaine);
 
 Debug PeekS(@chaine)
 
CloseConsole()

How can i catch in PB the value of "chaine" ?

Have a good day

Hi KCC,

this works for me:

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()
  
 ! char v_chaine[] = "KCC";
 ! printf("%s\n", v_chaine);
 
 Debug PeekS(@chaine, 3, #PB_Ascii)
 
CloseConsole()

There's probably a better way but I am also a beginner with this stuff

[Kwai chang caine]

Waooooouuh too strong FIRACE !!!

I am also a beginner

It's too funny to read that
I have perhaps a chance to not always be a beginner all my life in PB-C then

Thanks a lot for your precious help

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()
  
 ! char v_chaine[] = "KCC";
 ! printf("%s\n", v_chaine);
 
 Debug PeekS(@chaine, 3, #PB_Ascii)
 
CloseConsole()

It works, but I don't understand how @chaine can link to string v_chaine

[Keya]

It works, but I don't understand how @chaine can link to string v_chaine

Because internally PB prepends the prefix "v_" to variables before compilation (and "p_" to pointers, etc)
This is explained in the PB helpfile Inline Assembly section, as it also applies there when working with PB at its lowest level
Use the /COMMENTED compiler flag to see

[juergenkulow]

Code: Select all

; printf under PB_C
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_ExecutableFormat<>#PB_Compiler_Console 
  CompilerError "Exec-Format must be Console in Compiler-Option"
CompilerEndIf  
Define *string=UTF8("Hello visible universe. ")
Define *string2=UTF8("Value is now: %lld ")
Define *string3=UTF8("CPU-Time: %lld ")
Define value.q=42 
OpenConsole()
! printf(p_string); 
! printf(p_string2,++v_value);
! long long myrdtsc(void) { asm volatile ("rdtsc\n\t" "shl $32,%rdx\n\t" "or %rdx ,%rax"); }
! printf(p_string3,myrdtsc()); 
Input()
CloseConsole()
FreeMemory(*string) 
FreeMemory(*string2)
FreeMemory(*string3)
; Hello visible universe. Value is now: 43 CPU-Time: 3181639470065

Juergenkulow apparently you are a C master
All your codes is always splendids...but always also ununderstandable for my little head

[Olli]

It stays a_MyArray and p.v_myVariableInTheProcedure to be tested, and you will have done the complete tour of the links between PB and C !

[Marc56us]

Now how to do the opposite: access from C to a variable defined by PB?

Code: Select all

A$ = "Hello World"

! printf("%s", A$ ??? );

Input()

PokeS ? strcpy(v_A[], A$ ?) ?


(My goal is to try to use the sscanf, sprintf etc functions afterwards)

[juergenkulow]

Code: Select all

; PB_C sscanf
EnableExplicit
Define *a_utf8string=UTF8("4711471274713")
Define value.q
! extern int sscanf(const char *s, const char *template,...);
; First find declaration of sscanf. 
! sscanf(p_a_utf8string, "%lld" , &v_value);
; C Scan String function with the parameters
; PureBasic Pointer to a UTF8-String *a_utf8string,  p_a_utf8string
; Scanformat for quad, 8 Byte number in c long long  %lld
; Adress of PureBasic value, &v_value
SetClipboardText("Value is: "+Str(value))
MessageRequester("Value",Str(value))
FreeMemory(*A_UTF8String)
; Value is: 4711471274713

Please ask your questions.

Thank you juergenkulow for this quick answer with the explanations in the comments.

This new version of PB will definitely bring us many new possibilities.

"Cé ane baune késtion !!!! é j'vous r'merci d'm'l'avoir posée !!!"

I see i'm not alone to play with the new wonderfull backend

This new version of PB will definitely bring us many new possibilities.

I even believe that you are below the truth, for me ....it's really a daydream, i still can't believe it again

@juergenkulow
My empire for 1% of your knowledge

Thanks a lot for completing our collection of communication instructions, between PB and C
You know ....in a new couple .... it's the "good" communication the most important

[Olli]

! long long myrdtsc(void) { asm volatile ("rdtsc\n\t" "shl $32,%rdx\n\t" "or %rdx ,%rax"); }

I do not find the words to describe how it is beautiful...
