Return a string via MSVC (Purebasic 4.00)

[MushroomHead]

In Purebasic 3.94, I use the following code to return a string :-

Code: Select all

#include <windows>
#include <stdio>

extern "C"
{

	extern char *PB_StringBase;

	extern char *PB_Getit()
	{
		char *ResultString = PB_StringBase;
		int StringLength = strlen("HelloWorld!");
		
		strcpy(PB_StringBase, "HelloWorld!");
		PB_StringBase += StringLength;
		*PB_StringBase = 0;

		return ResultString;
	}
}

In Purebasic 4.00, this code crashes the compiler ... can someone show me how to correctly return strings in pb 4.00?

Thanks.

you might be interested of the sample code provided by the purebasic team:

see here :
[...]\PureBasic\Library SDK\LccWin32\SimpleLibrary

in particular, open the StringMultiply.c source file.

I've had a look, the problem is that code is for LCCWIN and I'm using MSVC 6.0 ... I don't know how these functions below can be coded in MSVC :-

Code: Select all

	M_PBFUNCTION int   SYS_GetParameterIndex(const TCHAR *Parameter);
	M_PBFUNCTION TCHAR *SYS_GetOutputBuffer(int Length, int PreviousPosition);
	M_PBFUNCTION TCHAR *SYS_ResolveParameter(int Index);

Correct me if I'm wrong, they appear to be compiler specific to LCCWIN? If they are in MSVC, what libraries (.LIB) to link your code to?

Want do you want to code? A userlib?
