PureBasic 4.40 beta2 released.

[pcfreak]

very nice, thanks :)

PS: can you please make it so that in the "Compiler Options" window, if
you are managing a project and switch between the targets, keeps the
panel index? makes it easier to adjust one option for every target

Great addition of the structure item autocomplete!

Really helpful with nested structures, and just general forgetfulness

Thanx.

Is there a limit of code lines the beta 2 Linux version 4.40 can compile

My program is about 12500 lines and compiles fine under 4.31 but when I try it with the new beta version it only compiles 6000 lines and then the I get a ide freeze and have to kill the process

Is this accurate?

Code: Select all

Structure ICONIMAGE
  icHeader.BITMAPINFOHEADER
  StructureUnion
  icColors.RGBQUAD[0]
  icXOR.b[0]
  icAND.b[0]
  EndStructureUnion
EndStructure

According to an article on MSDN, I don't believe this is a union:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997538.aspx

Code: Select all

typdef struct
{
   BITMAPINFOHEADER   icHeader;   // DIB header
   RGBQUAD         icColors[1];   // Color table
   BYTE            icXOR[1];      // DIB bits for XOR mask
   BYTE            icAND[1];      // DIB bits for AND mask
} ICONIMAGE, *LPICONIMAGE;

Thanks for the great update.

With the ability to new copy structures are there any plans to support passing structure by value to procedures?

Code: Select all

Structure That
  x.f
  y.f
  z.f
EndStructure

This.That\x=1
This.That\y=2
This.That\z=3

That.That=This
Debug That\x
Debug That\y
Debug That\z

;/ Cannot pass structure by value
Procedure Gnat(Grue.l, This.That)
EndProcedure

Hush, you just uncovered all 4.50 improvements!

With the IDE for 4.40 crashing on me it's been very unpleasant to test. I keep losing my workspace! And because it crashes every time I close it the workspace never gets saved at all.

Please consider implementing this feature into the IDE:

Crashes don't bother me too much anymore since I use numbered saves

It's not the state of my files, blueznl. It's the state of the IDE (tabs, undo/redo stack). The most important thing is just the tabs. It's ridiculously annoying to have to run around and reopen my workspace every single time.

Backspace Unindent (in the Editor) is still not implemented
I hope some day it is..
(I'm not talking about 'Tab-Unindent'-Stuff, it should work like it works in e.g. the Delphi 7 Ide.. If you use it once you'll love it..

You'll have to be more specific. I haven't used Delphi and have no idea what you're talking about.

I have used the Delphi IDE before and don't know what he is talking about, too.

The only difference is:
Indent: TAB = STRG+SHIFT+I
Unindent: SHIFT+TAB = STRG+SHIFT+U

[nase09]

You'll have to be more specific. I haven't used Delphi and have no idea what you're talking about.

Backspace Unindent 'aligns' the cursor with the previous line (if you press backspace it skips empty spaces..) - difficult to explain, but very natural if you know what I mean..
I tried to explain it here : http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... highlight=
The Purebasic Editor already supports this 'input style' : if you press Return (the cursor position in the new line is aligned with the previeous line then - and Backspace Unindent does kind of the same for the backspace-key).

[Karbon]

Impressive work guys! I'll try to compile kBilling with it soon.

Thanks!
to me, now, while Dreamotion3D 5 works on it, you ar going on the right way
