Hi again,

Other question,
I convert all my bmp images to data files as my own .pix data.
If one day a hacker will try to hack my program,
with IncludeBinary he or she will find it in a flash.
With binary data, and createimage() it is a little bit more difficult.

Or am I wrong thinking :mrgreen:

Whats your idea about this ??

Marc,

Number of lines never impresses me. Half could be blank lines for white space reasons, or even lots of single lines like "a=a+1".
Good programmers shouldn't make wild assumptions about programs they know nothing about. And they certainly shouldn't assume that small programs are, by their nature, better than big ones.

We typically compile 500,000 line programs, with some closer to 1,000,000 lines. Compile times vary from 2 to 10 minutes depending on the complexity of the code, but this isn't important since we rarely need to compile.

Our code is machine-generated from a database that contains the specifications of all our applications. These specs include such items as data elements, data structures, files, reports, screen layouts, processing rules, etc, etc. The nucleus of the code generator consists of about 20,000 lines of hand written code, but the entire package self-generates to about 400,000 lines.

We prefer to work entirely with source code, rather than use static and dynamic libraries, as this avoids maintaining extra stuff between the design specs and the final executable file. Only about 20% of the source code is devoted to comments and white space. Anything less makes the code unreadable.

Here's a snippet from one of our Classes. The code was machine generated from the Data Dictionary database.

Re: Max. Compilation lines of code... ?

To answer the question, PureBasic doesn't have hard limit for source size, and if you use the 64 bit version with enough memory you should be able to compile very large programs (probably slowly but it should still work).

Other question,
I convert all my bmp images to data files as my own .pix data.
If one day a hacker will try to hack my program,
with IncludeBinary he or she will find it in a flash.
With binary data, and createimage() it is a little bit more difficult.

Or am I wrong thinking :mrgreen:

Whats your idea about this ??

Marc,
IncludeBinary and binary data will produce the same results – the latter is just more work to keep your source code up to date, when you do some changes on your bitmaps (sorry, pix-files).
So changing the file format (or at least the well known image header) should be enough to reduce the possibility for hacking, but you can also integrate a checksum for the whole exe file to "secure" not only your bitmap but also the text strings...

Here's a small snippet to do exactly what you want. Automagically create/encrypt/depack, with just one constant. http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 16&t=45683

Thanks for the answer, that's what I was waiting for. :wink:
So, I can go on now with my work...

Yes :oops: that what it is, cut off the well known image header...


To djes,

Thanks for the hint, I will use this the day the program is working well,
without bugs. :mrgreen: 8)
